    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.
