China does not want a war with the US. The US, however, is continually provoking China by using Taiwan as its scapegoat. The US Navy announced that two warships will be traveling through the Taiwan Strait. The reasoning? The military aims to demonstrate freedom of movement through international waters. In other words, they deliberately want to anger China.
Nancy Pelosi began the subtle attack on China when she visited Taiwan and disregarded warnings from every intelligence agency. China repeatedly warned America not to interfere in its One China policy. Yet, Pelosi said she wants Taiwan to liberate Taiwan.
“We take this trip at a time when the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy,” Pelosi said. “We cannot stand by as the CCP proceeds to threaten Taiwan — and democracy itself,” Pelosi said in a statement. “Our congressional delegation’s visit should be seen as an unequivocal statement that America stands with Taiwan, our democratic partner, as it defends itself and its freedom.”
China flexed its military power as soon as Pelosi left by performing almost a mock invasion through the skies and sea. As of this week, Taiwan reported 23 Chinese aircrafts and eight ships around Taiwan. Russia was provoked by NATO and backed into a corner before invading Ukraine. Beijing is increasingly feeling the pressure as the US is not actively abiding by its One China policy. Between the current recession, proxy war in Ukraine, and surmounting debt, the US is simply stretched too thin to enter a war with China.
Our models warn that geopolitical tensions will rise going into 2023. China is selling off US debt, which is another sign of coming geopolitical problems.

Our leaders want war and the opponent is not as important as the act.
What I can’t fathom, we are no longer capable of winning against either Russia or China, so why the effort?
I am pleased though we can still destroy the world, NOT!
It’s far worse than that.
Fathom this. We couldn’t defeat a nation with NO Air Force, NO Navy, and a ragtag Army basically outfitted with just rifles …. over the course of TWENTY YEARS.
Most Powerful Military in the world?? Bwahaaaha, my fat Hungarian ass!!
It all seems to be far more complicated than Martin is describing here. It’s like a 3 ring circus, there’s just to many events going on at the same time to track any one thing for very long. I’m not so certain that china doesn’t want war, they just want it on their terms. It is a wise decision to watch your enemy destroy themselves, in some cases, to even help them.
We’re already at war. The tricky part is being sure exactly who is an enemy and who isn’t.
You just said a mouthful.
and being sure which “side” they’re on.
If we didn’t want war with China, would we be doing anything differently?
Pelosi wouldn’t have been dispatched to Taiwan. We wouldn’t be sailing our ships through the Straight of Taiwan. Today we hear that Arizona Governor Doug Ducey is now in Taiwan – ostensibly to woo semiconductor chip manufacturers to Arizona to get some of that Chip Act money. Hey, I’m all for bringing chip manufacturing back to the US, but he could have used Zoom or Facetime.
So when do we deliver all sorts of military stuff to them to help them when we go to war with them…after we warn them of course.
It seems to me to be all smoke and mirrors. The masters would very much like to use the Chinese model for the Western World. There fight is not about freedom, it’s about oppression. Sadly, only a handful of them realize it. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
China could destroy America without firing a shot, but at a cost their not willing to pay just yet.. Our dependence has become our binding chains, similarly to the EU being chained to Russian Energy. I refuse to believe it’s all a coincidence. This whole mess as been on the drawing board, in it’s planning and preparation stages for decades. We just get to be the generation that has the dubious honor of living through it in in our times.
Don’t always trust your lying eyes.
Why do “we” want war with China? Because our rulers are sociopaths who enjoy playing with the lives of millions of others. Look at this cadaver, and then his former boss:
Why would the U. S. Corporate Government go to war with China when the U. S. Government (through Corporations and Government Pension fund investments) invested about 10 Trillion in China to make it an economic powerhouse?
Yes, 10 Trillion.
Look into the CAFRs
“Does the US Want War with China?”
wrong question. the correct question is, “do the subversives now in control of america’s government want war with china?”
“China does not want a war with the US”
indeed they don’t. like clausewitz said, “war begins with defense”, and the chinese don’t want anyone defending themselves.
Who does the US think it is going to get to fight its war? I do not see a whole lot of people willing to fight to make Wall St. bankers rich. Military enlistment is at a low point because no one trusts the government. Perhaps they think they can pull off another propaganda campaign that will rally the people to support war. I doubt it. They burned up all their credibility by supporting the woke and declaring war against the American people with Covid and vaxxes.
Unless they have a few million automated robots hidden underground to fight their immoral war….
IF THE INTEL IS RIGHT AND IT SEEMS TO BE, THEN THE BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME HAS BEEN STRIPPING WEAPONS, WEAPON SYSTEMS LIKE MISSILE SYSTEM AND ARTILLERY AND AMMO FROM U.S. ARMY AMD MARINE UNITS HERE IN CONUS AND OVERSEAS IN PLACES LIKE SOUTH KOREA AND SENDING IT TO UKRAINE WHERE FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES IT DISAPEARS. EVEN THE STATE NATIONAL GUARD UNITS IN NY AND MASSACHUSETTS ARE SEEING THEIR MEDICAL SUPPLIES, RATIONS, AMMUNITION AND WEAPONS BEING TAKEN AND SHIPPED TO UKRAINE BY THE GOVERNORS OF THOSE STATE WITH HELP FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. THING IS MY FREINDS IF WE GET INTO A SHOOTIN WAR WITH THE CHICOMS WE’LL GET OUR COLLECTIVE ASSES KICKED BIG TIME. AND THAT’S THE DAMNED TRUTH.
