If US is involved in the Strait war, it will not only lose its position in Asia, but lose it in the whole world. Because US is really a paper tiger now. People are afraid of it because it looks like a tiger. When it loses a war with China, people will not be afraid of it anymore. As a result dollar will lose its credit. The whole US empire will collapse.
Matter of fact, aircraft carriers are really vulnerable in modern war.
usa is a economic paper tiger, the whole thing is a facade. Like going to a theme park and seeing some giant castle and being in awe, and then approaching the castle, you realise the castle is only cheap Styrofoam. usa economy is a fake, inflated and weak economy that survives on threats, blackmail, bribes and war. For that usa wants to destroy the competitor China to loot China and be the only supa powa economy. China wins everyday, because China's economy is real and much larger than the us economy. The fake data out of Washington is there to keep the usa peasants from revolting about how sh*tty the usa economy is. Look at the fudged unemployment numbers and faked inflation numbers. Everybody knows these are faked. What is not as well known is the gdp is also faked.
While not so paper tiger militarily. usa goons in Washington stated that Washington is ineffectual at fighting terrorists, yet can do shock and awe to topple governments. The retreat in Afghanistan was trumps plan to pivot to Asia. trump and biden don't give a hoot about Afghanistan and want to see the people suffer more.
You don't want to trigger the usa into a conflict without vastly overwhelming force that can win the war. The only way for Japan to win WWII, was to invade the mainland of America and destroy the MIC (military industrial complex) (or to invade Russia and let the Germans win Russia and tag team against uk and usa with Germans). usa was in a war with the Soviets for 45 years and did not back down.
These are psychopaths who have no concept of losing. As these individuals lose, it becomes more deadly. So long as China is unable to occupy the whole of the usa to stop the usa MIC, China loses. China needs 10X the combined forces of the rest of the globe in a conflict with usa.
Don't mistake the sh*tty usa economy for a sh*tty usa military. The entire economy serves MIC empire. It is a military economy and more money is spent on military than is even on the Washington budget sheets.
The great error of the Chinese is to mistake the muricans for the Japanese. "The Japanese are enemies of the Chinese, therefore the muricans would act the same. China was able to defeat the Japanese, so it would be easy to defeat Washington."
And the Washington plan is to strangle China from resources and trade, to trigger a war like the usa did to Japan with oil embargo. Japan miscalculated. Japan needed much more military equipment such as naval units to dominate the usa. If China is only defending her zone, and getting shocked and awed at shipyards and factories and airfields, etc. And China is only focused on defending her Western Pacific, then like during WWII, the entire usa warmachine is gonna churn out naval and air units to destroy China.
Which is why to get involved in a war with usa, China needs total dominance.
China's military is for defending from aggressors. To survive and defend. If China strikes due to baiting, usa war exhaustion is gonna be less than a usa first strike. This is why usa false flags and lies their way into nearly every war, to get the war Washington wants and to play the victim so there is less chance of revolts and protests at home because "Murica wuz attcked"
Dollar would be replaced by bitcoin, Washington own 30 years of Chinese full GDP in bitcoin.
Qanon trumptards and wall street banksters own another 50 years of Chinese full GDP (100 trillion yuan) in bitcoin = to 5000 trillion yuan. usa is begging the globe to replace dollars with bitcoin.
Ways for China to win by defending the Western Pacific and not invading mainland usa:
(1) Occupy South Korea
(2) Invade and occupy India and hold India
(3) Defeat the Japanese SDF and take out us bases in central and western pacific
(4) Defeat the Australian Navy
And those are highly risky. China's military is for defense. Not large enough for those operations. And even with a force 10X larger than the rest of the globe combined, those would be hard fought conflicts. Simply taking Taiwan is not enough to sue for peace with usa when war starts. usa does not give 2 sh*ts about Taiwan or Afghanistan. The prize is China and a Versailles Treaty imposed on China to loot China of hundreds of trillions of yuan, perhaps 1000s of trillions of yuan. So that is what is risked with war with usa. China currently is a trading empire, none can rival her. China is currently a economic empire than none can rival her. And for these reasons usa is jealous and can't handle there not being a war with China. Peace makes Washington trolls lose their minds.
China possessing overwhelming forces would cause usa to back down from a war, yet would try to bully China economically.
So China risks her economic prowess with a war with Taiwan.
The next 5 year plan has to taken into account that trump released a bioweapon to start a race war with China; and build up vastly past the numbers of the usa.
And like for Iran, it would be unwise to get into a war when usa has hypersonic and newer stand off missiles and no defenses against these. This is the window that Washington is waiting for to have a war with China. So quickly develop something like an S-500 and S-600 and S-700 class ADS to protect key targets like shipyards and naval bases.
