Why is the possibility of a hot war between China and the United States very high?
1. Some analysts believe that a hot war between China and the United States is almost impossible. You can see the attitude of the United States towards Iran and North Korea. These two evil regimes challenged the United States everywhere, and they did not see the United States carrying out military attacks on them. The strength of the Communist Party of China is far above these two countries. It can be seen that the United States will not really launch a war against the Communist Party of China, but the United States will only fight a public opinion war with the Communist Party of China.
A / the above statement is obviously wrong. The United States and its allies have carried out military operations against Iran. Iran's military targets have been repeatedly bombed, and senior military commanders have even been cleared at designated points.
After all, Iran and North Korea pose very small military threats to the United States, while the Communist Party of China directly confronts the United States in the South China Sea, which is equivalent to the two armed forces setting out to challenge each other. In the long run, the United States will not tolerate it. And there's a risk of gun fire.
2. America's greatest fear is casualties. The evil regime of the Communist Party of China spread the virus all over the world, and more than 100000 people died in the United States because of the epidemic. An important consideration for the United States to avoid getting involved in the war is obviously that the sacrifice of soldiers is the highest price. But now it is almost certain that the Chinese Communist Party has deliberately allowed the epidemic to spread around the world. If the United States has suffered such serious economic and personnel losses, how can the United States swallow this breath and swallow it if it can not get certain compensation? Even if the United States pays the price of thousands of people, it is worthwhile for the United States to punish the Communist Party of China for deliberately spreading the plague through hot war.
3. Understanding the strategic value of Taiwan
Taiwan, as a model of Chinese democracy, obviously has the power of an example for the 1.4 billion people in the mainland, which proves that Chinese people are also suitable for democracy. The existence of the Republic of China in Taiwan must inspire the people of the mainland to pursue democracy. Therefore, the existence of the Republic of China in Taiwan poses a great threat to the rationality of its regime from within the Communist Party of China. Whether from the concept or the actual operation process, the Republic of China in Taiwan is the most important force to subvert the CPC regime. We believe that once the democratic revolution in Chinese mainland has been carried out to a certain extent, Taiwanese will devote themselves to it and play an important role. Once Taiwan is conquered by the Chinese Communist Party, the evil regime of the Communist Party will be more stable, which is not conducive to the interests of the United States. A democratic China in the future will be the closest ally of the United States and will be able to fully assist the United States in handling global affairs.
4. The United States hopes to formally declare a break with the Communist Party of China to the whole world through a hot war, drive the CPC out of the world trade system and isolate the CPC in an all-round way, which can relieve the threat of the CPC to the United States and the world.
5. The United States cannot allow the Chinese Communist Party to succeed in the South China Sea and Taiwan issues. Otherwise, the two most important allies of the United States in East Asia will have to alienate the United States and become the vassals of the Communist Party of China. Historically, these two countries Japan and Korea were China's dependent countries. In this way, the real Chinese Communist empire was formed. America's global dominance is about to be overturned. The United States must confront the Communist Party of China in Taiwan and the South China Sea issues, so it is reasonable that even if a hot war breaks out.

Because America is a bully and loves to interfere especially when it comes to china ... america wants to remain number 1 and stop China at all costs overtaking them essentially America is your typical school bully but sooner or later like all bullies they will be put in there place
 
There will be no hot war between China. Both the USA and China have nuclear weapons. That means no direct war between the USA and China.
 
As a Chinese, I very much hope that the United States bullies the Communist Party of China

Is the confrontation between the two navies a costly game?
 
according to turning theory, china will overtake the USA

many think the nation is decadent and deprived, like what russia(the former superpower) is now, while china is a investing superpower all over the world now
 
I'd put it at about 0.5% currently.
 
The United States, after all, has an advantage in technology.
 
I could see our ships/aircraft getting into but not a war.

Your other 99.5% could be in this country, where one side has prepared for it and has a huge advantage with weapons of war.

The OP speaks of a civil war in China and they may not be the last country to have civil strife as this decade continues.

As long as Trump is President, there won't be any "hot war". Trump's preference is to engage in economic warfare and that's what he's been doing for almost four years. He won't change his strategy, though he may up his tactics in his next term.

If Biden becomes President, there won't be any "hot war". Biden's preference is surrender before firing a shot.

If the Chinese Communist Party attacks Taiwan, the United States may be involved in the war

The lack of democracy in the United States is related to the constitution of the United States.

I don't see a civil war happening there currently.

Are you ready for the burning of cities toward that goal?
 
Because the Leaders of China aren't stupid. There is no logical.reason for.the Chinese to have a military confrontation with the United States. Now will we have conflicts through surrogates like we did in Vietnam. Been doing it for decades.

Much easier for China to hurt us economically. Our greedy corporations have so entwined America's manufactured goods to Communist Red China that we are dependent on the for most everything.

Medicine:

China produces 97 percent of U.S. antibiotics and about 80 percent of active pharmaceutical ingredients used in American drugs, giving the Chinese Communist Party absolute control of potentially life-saving medicine. For example, Chinese pharmaceutical companies supply 70 percent of the world's acetaminophen, commonly used in Tylenol.

Do a little research on how much of.our.property and.how.many american corporations the Communist Red Chinese own.

What is.very sad.is China became a.world economic.superpower because of american corporations greed.and.shortsightedness

Why did India not become a world economic superpower while China did? 40 years ago India had a GDP per capita higher than that of China, now it is 25% that of China
 
The Chances of war

1. Started by China. The only issue that China holds high enough to start a war is Taiwan declaring independence on a formal basis. Beyond that China is not going to start a war. That is beyond China's control and is dependent on Taiwan's leaders not seeking the destruction of Taiwan and accepting the status quo. Generally low chance

2. Started by the US, the US tries to put an economic blockade on China, or more specifically an oil blockade (note that blockades are considered an act of war) Currently small chance but a potential in 2 or so years.
 
It's not. War between china and usa, no way.
 
If the Chinese Communist Party attacks Taiwan, the United States may be involved in the war

Conflict is good for weapons businesses. Nothing else to see there.

Certainly do not want to see innocent civilians suffer disaster. But a degree of disaster is acceptable. I believe that the military failure of the Communist Party of China will be the catalyst for its downfall. At that time, tens of millions of Chinese people died of starvation in the late 1950s and 1960s under the rule of the Communist Party of. The Communist Party of China is the root cause of the Chinese disaster, which must be eradicated, and it is worth paying for it.

China implements the export tax rebate system. Give preferential export policies and encourage export. Perhaps unfair trade policies give Chinese enterprises an advantage in competition.

Chinese people are hardworking and have a strong learning ability, which is related to the language.
