Are Americans so eager to start a new war?
Although I don't think it will make China take military action, they will definitely prepare a "welcome ceremony".

War is (almost) an inevitability at this point. No hegemon will tolerate a rising superpower

SCMP now says that it was an "approach". Probably "feeling the ground" before making a formal invitation

China denies inviting European leaders to meet Xi, but sources confirm approach has been made​

China has denied it invited European leaders to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in November, but a senior diplomatic source confirmed the EU countries had been approached about visiting Beijing.

Asked about the Chinese foreign ministry’s denial, the well-placed source confirmed that these EU member states had been approached about a potential visit in November and were currently deliberating how to deal with the issue.

Debate is ongoing in both Berlin and Paris over the potential meetings, which would see the leaders land in Beijing after the 20th party congress, when Xi is expected to start a new term, according to the source.

The source said invitations were still informal and were expected to be formalised later in the year.

“He wants, I think, something like a coronation ceremony where the leaders of the world come to Beijing to pay tribute to Xi the third, like Napoleon the third,” said the senior diplomat, referring to Xi’s likely third term in office.

Unless said hegemon can tear itself apart before that war could happen.

Not really. Thucydides' Trap was formulated in a time when there were no nuclear weapons and no MAD. As long as China maintains a robust nuclear arsenal, the US will keep looking for other ways to undermine China's rise (like making retarded redundant "alliances" that sound like K-Pop bands, stirring up problems with Taiwan, etc...) hoping to find the answer until it realizes it's too late and China has overtaken it.

Now that the cocaine have run out because of inflation, they finally sobered up and realized that the sanctions are not working as intended.

KF-21 took off for the first time. South Korea is now the 4th(?) nation to have a 5th generation fighter?

4.5+ , weapons are externally mounted until future revisions maybe 5-10 years out.

4.5 generation not 5th generation. KF-21 has some stealth features but has no internal weapon storage, at least in the initial version.
