Summary
U.S.-China tensions are escalating as Trump imposes tariffs on all Chinese goods, prompting Beijing to retaliate and vow to fight “any type” of war.
China is boosting defense spending by 7.2% while portraying itself as a stable global partner.
The fentanyl issue adds to disputes, with Beijing dismissing it as a pretext for tariffs.
China faces economic struggles but is injecting billions to stabilize growth.
If Trump continues escalating tariffs, the trade war could intensify, worsening global economic and geopolitical instability.

Pokemon battle, 3v3
OG red and green version only
Is green the version you got when combining blue and yellow?
Green came out in Japan instead of the original Blue in the West.
Oh wow, are we getting a world war with China and Europe allied against Russia and the US?
Things are all wonky
These world leaders desperately want to be seen as tough guys but they’re merely overcompensating for their micropenises.
Gives a new meaning to sword fight
The sword is mightier than the pen is.
Me too, man, me too.
Trust me, they aren’t. But neither are the Americans.
Xi is definitely beating Trump at thumb war.
If you say Dumb War with a lisp, it sounds like Thumb War
Economic, trade, soft power, cyber…sure, hell they stand a chance in those. Combat? Not even close, they would be leveled. The tricky part is using the advantage they have in the first few without receiving the kneejerk usage of the last one against them.
In actuality, the CCP influencing anything outside China (and arguably inside China) is a worst case outcome. The US doing so is very quickly moving up the ranks to the second worst. The world is going to need the EU, and allies, to step up and keep both in check.
Russia just beat us in a war and didn’t have to fire a shot. They’ll have to beat Russia at the disinformation/planting assets game first to win the war with Russia.

I propose a hell in a cell match between the two Presidents.
Choosing this post among many others to say that I am tired of old men declaring wars they have no skin in, for a future they will never leave. The world is starting to mirror the mental images of their deteriorating brains.
If a war happens, whoever wins, we lose. :(
Yeah. War doesn’t determine who is right, but who is left.
the Cold War was a free printing money machine for 50 years. creating a new one against China makes sense if you’re an oligarch whose wealth rides upon govt contracts and endless military industrial expansionism.
and it kinda explains why Putin is manipulating Trump to make him believe they’ll choose the US over China in a game of saber rattling. Russia is positioning itself to be the tie-breaker so it can play both sides against one another in lucrative energy/arms deals. maybe they’ll even get some real estate out of it.
They are welcome to Florida if they leave the rest of us alone

The problem with imperialists is that they might say they are happy with whatever the current concession is on the table today but will still want to expand their power beyond whatever limits it currently has tomorrow.
Any type of war?
I vote for a war where both “great leaders” beat the shit out of eachother
I was gonna say an all out thumb war between the peoples but I like your idea better.
Xi would beat the tar outta our bloated excuse for a head of state.
Honestly facts it would be so embarrassing.
Yes. A one on one, no holds bared match, mano y mano. Which fat stupid 70+ year old leech will blow a major artery first! Take your bets now!!
China faces economic struggles but is injecting billions to stabilize growth.
The sole manufacturer of everything we buy faces economic struggles. We better fucking hope they don’t because all they have to do is increase prices and we’ll bring them the money on our knees. Good planning on behalf of our capitalist oberlords.
