If there was to be a war with China, I don’t see how they could fall. Someone posted a link here some days ago about how in all wargames, the US gets its ass kicked. But moreover, even Japan in the 1930s couldn’t occupy all of China. The way things are right now the US would lose against China, even if they formed a coalition. For the foreseeable future I don’t see Europe joining the war (they would lose too much), and I only see India and maybe Japan joining the war against China. South Korea would be a base of operations for coalition forces but I’m not sure they would be reckless enough to declare war too… unless they were “forced” in some way by the US.
The imperial core is definitely building up a cold war and trying to shift opinion away from China. It’s not entirely successful though, because we depend so much on China. So while people are blaming China for whatever (most of the time they don’t even know themselves), they also blame our businesses that deal with China or Xinjiang. This cold war shot them in the foot exactly because China is a global player in the capitalist system.
Europe is dealing with China for two reasons, and the US is learning this the hard way. First, of course, they offer better deals. But secondly, they offer safe deals. American meat is banned from sale in Europe because they have ridiculously low safety standards. Chinese products however are able to be imported – here we get several types of canned vegetables from China (which is a bit wasteful if you ask me, as we are perfectly capable of growing them – in fact, they originally come from Europe). The US used to coast by on their global stranglehold, but now that there is competition, they would prefer to undermine it than better themselves. Of course they can’t offer a better service than China, because their system is in too deep in contradictions.
I sincerely hope we will see the dismantling of the Amerikan empire in the coming decade, or at least in my lifetime.
