    US-China war risks grow as Beijing sees little point in talking to Biden’s team
    The two most powerful nations have entered a perilous phase of miscommunication and mis-signalling – which usually occurs as a prelude to an unexpected war

    Beijing is no longer keen on holding high-level talks with the US government, because it has pretty much given up on the Biden administration, which is widely seen by China’s political elite as incompetent, ignorant about Chinese culture and history and extremely arrogant.

    Instead, Beijing may well be betting on the next presidential election to produce anyone but Joe Biden. Even Donald Trump, it would appear, can be dealt with because the former president put his cards on the table, disliked military alliances and loathed war.

    Board of directors interlocked into a monopoly and coupled the US with China.
    You would need a shareholder revolt to decouple from China.
    Submarine could take out the propeller of an oil tanker.
    Worldwide shortages as China's output is cut in half.

    US and NATO countries would be inconvenienced with shortages and higher prices but would survive.China wouldn't last long if US and NATO countries stopped all trade with China.

    Russia is hurt badly by US sanctions but they have thier own oil and can grow thier own food,China has to import both so when the The US blocks oil and food by sea thier economy will crash and people will starve.They won't last and would be stupid to start a war,it would be an even bigger mistake than Russia made.

    No, Americans are on an island, far from Eurasia on both side. NATO won’t be in any fights at all. Europeans have been doing business with China since the Roman time.

    Lincoln started a war with the South for the keeping whole of the Union, I wouldn’t expect the Chinese do less when comes to Taiwan.

    Biden would have denied there was a wall then would blame the last administration for it

    On this day in history, June 12, 1987, Reagan urges Gorbachev to 'tear down this wall'
