    The finding by the Trump administration is the strongest denunciation by any government of China’s actions and follows a Biden campaign statement with the same declaration

    We are absolutely invading China through the Wakhan Corridor,

      I really struggle to understand why some people here think boots on the ground style hot war with China is a remote possibility.

      The nations with the first and third largest nuclear arsenals will never invade each other and if they ever try to none of us will be alive to post about it.

        Mutually assured destruction is a myth, concocted by a guy who was literally diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

        If US-backed insurgents begin to secede from China, the US will provide them military support. It is unlikely that China will decide to end the world in response to this.

        It has been proven that Jimmy Lai & Joshua Wang conspired with the US government against China. The US provides military equipment to Taiwan. These both breach Chinese sovereignty, no different than military operations in Xinjiang.

        And yet, there's no nuclear response from China. They aren't fucking stupid. Mass extinction is not a reasonable political strategy.

            They wouldn't. That's what I'm saying. The US can do military operations in China without nukes getting involved.

              China can, should, and probably would retaliate to an actual invasion with every option available to them.

        Winning isn't the goal. The goal is to turn China into a battlefield.

        The US got exactly what it wanted out of the wars in Iraq, Syria, and Libya - halted oil production, a US-enemy replaced with civil war & genocide, etc.

          I've been saying that a proxy war in East Turkestan (Xinjiang) would be the way to go. That's how they usually do it at least

            Yeah, it'll start with a proxy war between China & "Turkistan Islamic State." The US will provide military support to the "Islamic state." That may develop into a full-occupation, similar to the US strategy in Afghanistan since 1979.

            Turkey's politics really define so much of the future. I feel it's a country way more American leftists specifically should start learning a lot about. It's kind of wild to see it's influence grow and grow.

              Turkey has the same flag-waving bullshit that exists in USA and also has cult of personality for founding fathers .

                Turkey belongs in like Top 10-15 worst countries list tbh. The history of leftism in the country/area is fascinating and depressing at the same time :(

                  To be fair the country has the #1 most anti-American sentiment based on a pew research report done a while back, higher than Germany/Russia etc. only 20% view the USA positively lol

                  It's a shame because the country looks pretty awesome from a foreigners perspective. I considered relocating to Ankara this summer to save money while living in the centre of a dynamic country.

          Is China in a position to invade the US? I mean like why wouldn't they just cut off the US from their supply chain and reorient their factories to military and go directly after the US?

        US may have lost every past land war in asia, but at least this time they're fighting someone extremely more difficult

        I invaded as the USSR because I thought maybe I could get at the British Raj that way.

        Took a stupid long time to beat them and then Germany attacked before I could really stomp them out after capitulation.

        My armies had to leave and they started gobbling up territory at a slow but steady pace.
