If anyone's interested in a general read (from a recent article referencing what sequ is talking about).
US bioweapon Covid-19 can be considered opening shots of WW3 ... the same virus that has no natural traceability and proven to not come from bats/snakes/pangolins found in nature and the same virus who's "ancestorial trace" that was detected in wastewater in many European nations as far back as 2019... the same one the US mostly refuses to test their own wastewater from 2020 and 2019 (except in Virginia and California). So even on the year this isn't necessarily inaccurate despite the suggested margin of error.
This whole situation reminds me of two sun tzu quotes
Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak” - Sun Tzu,
It is the rule in war, if ten times the enemy's strength, surround them; if five times, attack them; if double, be able to divide them; if equal, engage them; if fewer, defend against them; if weaker, be able to avoid them. - Sun Tzu
I feel the US crossing china red line and goading china to make the first attack cause they feel they have the advantage and can win, especially since they can hit China mainland easier than vice versa. Is this a case of the US feeling like china is weaker or is China's pretending to be weaker ?
China should not take the bait unless they are sure they can evenly match the US in that region. I hope china does not get goaded if they aren't ready. Otherwise the US has succeeded in choosing the time and place for the battle and and forcing china to respond. Seems like a lot of people on this forum feels if china doesn't respond then Xi will be gone. Doesn't that just make it easier for the US to dictate the time and place of the battle if they can easily goad china into launching something they are not ready for?
I feel china will not shoot first but will do do flyover of Taiwan or something forceful but fall short of a hot war.

Rest assured China now is no easy pushover! Try, you will get more than you bargain for!
This demon-cratic country national history is about 240 years within which only about 20 years without directly of indirectly in wars! Create wars and it can sell weapons and make big bucks! innocents suffer!
Maybe because the government, who has access to all info on this, already knows they're likely to prevail in a conflict?
A lot of people here thinking war is just as simple as matching starting numbers when not a single large conflict has gone that way historically.
Chinese planners are generally not beholden to save face like their American counterparts, because its not taboo for them to admit weakness or mistakes. So when they think escalating the situation with words and then readying troops is the best option, it is almost certainly an objective decision.
To those thinking China would fear any form of economic "sanction" from America, have you learned nothing from Russia? It is America who would fear being sanctioned by China. After 6 months of complete sanctions, the ruble has reached an all time high and said sanctions are revealed to be unaffordable in the long term. We're talking about a Germany sized economy here.
Regarding Hu Xijin, no, he's just a civilian journalist writing his opinion as a journalist. No-one can stop him unless what hes writing breaks laws about national security.
Not going to happen they haven’t settled in the past and especially not in 2020 with America’s backing. India would have most likely be played like a proxy and wars today are not going to be restricted to just that particular disputed area. Current border is the most realistic option for settlement relatively speaking.
Tiny but big enough for IFVs. ROC have deployed M41D Walker Bulldog on them:
I'm fascinated on the possible outcome of a Type 11 Assault Gun dueling a M41D Walker Bulldog. That's some War Thunder level matching making.

Where? Those are wheeled amphibious assault guns/tank destroyers ZTL-11.
Anyway, these beauties will lead the way if something happens:
