"Now the new game hits high gear; it's the US against the Russia-China strategic partnership.

Diplomatic capers, tactical retreats, psychological, economic, cyber and even outer space duels, all enveloped in media hysteria, will continue to rule the news cycle. Be prepared for all shades of carping about authoritarian China, and its "malign" association with an "illiberal" Russian bogeyman bent on blasting the borders of Europe and "disrupting" the Middle East.
.....
Professional Sinophobes are even peddling the notion that a "failing China" might eventually "lash out" against the US. That's a misreading of what Rear Admiral Luo Yuan said last month in Shenzhen: "We now have Dong Feng-21D, Dong Feng-26 missiles. These are aircraft carrier killers. We attack and sink one of their aircraft carriers. Let them suffer 5,000 casualties. Attack and sink two carriers, casualties 10,000. Let's see if the US is afraid or not?"

This is a statement of fact, not a threat. The Pentagon knows all there is to know about 'carrier killer' danger.

Beijing won't stop with carrier killers, the rebranded Western Pacific and reunification with Taiwan. It is planning the first artificial intelligence (AI) colony on earth - a deep-sea base for unmanned submarine science and defense ops in the South China Sea."

Wir werden interessante Zeiten erleben.
