To worry about war with China

I am not political and I don’t mind admitting my knowledge about international affairs and the ins and outs and details is pretty low. Humour me - what would happen if we went to war with China? If America did? I’m no expert but it feels like we are in a dangerous point in history right now.

Not from us. US I doubt it although Trump the issue will push to distract.

The pp who remarked that the Chinese have bought up a lot doesn’t make us at war it’s just investment. And we sell to the highest bidder.

Thanks all. From what I gather the YABU is that I’m u reasonable to worry about a typical specifically.

That’s good to know. All of the other stuff .... well who knows.

It won't matter at all what we want China wants to take over.......if we don't block it this will happen.......China hates democracy and has amassed a lot of power.
How many posters even know about Tibet?

Its inevitable and I'm so relieved my son is too young to be anywhere near conscription age. I'm already preparing and moved to the UK partly in preparation for a hot war.

Its not inevitable at all. Who has anything to win by it? the chinese just want to get rich

goldfinchfan · 31/05/2020 20:22

The Chinese want power.
......just watch Hong Kong
They are already calling Brits names and issuing threats

I don't think they want a battle fight but we should go back to making own own goods like medicines and anything important.

Stop selling us things? If there is no real war what would it be like? I’m not being goady I’m genuinely asking.

China don't want a war. But they are willing to have a war.

If the west doesn't capitulate to China acquiring Hong Kong ✅ Taiwan, the South China Sea, Pacific Island nations ✅ and Australia/NZ (and the possesion of Southern fisheries and mineral fields Oz/NZ provide)...then a war there will be.

Read Sun Tzu. China are moving now because they are now ready.

But they arnt ready, US could still batter them twice over, then the UK and France are still around the 5th-8th best forces in the world.
