China doesn't even seem able to convincingly assert itself militarily over its own Taiwan Province. When that happens ... it'll be time to take notice.

The trade war is hotting up, and about to go into full swing with Trump requesting an additional 200 bil USD Chinese markets are down down in today's trading by 2.5% and approaching -11% down year to date. US futures are down. It could all still turn positive but instability is starting to boil over. US Futures Plunge After Trump Calls For $200BN More In Chinese Tariffs, Beijing Vows To "Hit Back"www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-06-18/us-futures-plunge-after-trump-calls-200-billion-more-tariffs-chinawww.zerohedge.com/news/2018-06-18/china-enters-trade-trap"The goal is to slow China's economy such that military modernization slows and its economy cannot catch up with the United States. Meanwhile, implementation of this strategy is called "Beijing's playbook" and the whole time President Trump speaks positively about Xi Jinping and China's help in other areas."

I think the US should turn Taiwan into a massive military base. That'd learn those dirty chinese to build military bases in other people's territory. Things will get interesting then, see how tough the chinese are when push comes to shove. I'm not hugely pro-China, but have you looked into how many military bases the US has around the world compared to the military bases China has? The US has huge numbers. China has minuscule numbers. Edit: I should add I'm also not pro-US. I'm too busy worrying about my own business to take sides on who did who wrong.
