Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang just warned the entire world that “there surely will be conflict and confrontation” with the United States unless there is a dramatic change in U.S. behavior, and you would think that such a direct threat would be front page news all over the nation today. Unfortunately, most of our politicians don’t seem to understand how serious this is. We are accustomed to politicians that just blurt out whatever stupid things come into their heads at the moment, and then later on their aides come along and explain that they really didn’t mean to make such inflammatory statements. But Chinese politicians are not like that at all. Chinese politicians choose their words with great care, and making a direct threat against another nation is considered to be a very serious matter.

With that in mind, I would like for you to carefully read what Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang just said about the current state of his country’s relationship with the United States…
“If the United States does not hit the brake, but continues to speed down the wrong path, no amount of guardrails can prevent derailing and there surely will be conflict and confrontation,” said Qin, whose new position is junior to the Communist Party’s senior foreign policy official, Wang Yi. “Such competition is a reckless gamble, with the stakes being the fundamental interests of the two peoples and even the future of humanity.”
I was absolutely floored when I first read that.
And he is not the only Chinese politician speaking this way.
On Monday, Xi Jinping made it exceedingly clear that he is losing patience with the United States…
China’s leader Xi Jinping hit out at the United States with unusually direct comments as he called on the country’s private companies to “fight” alongside the Communist Party at a time of mounting challenges at home and abroad.
“[In the past five years,] Western countries led by the United States have contained and suppressed us in an all-round way, which has brought unprecedented severe challenges to our development,” Xi told a group of government advisers representing private businesses during an annual legislative meeting in Beijing on Monday.
Without a doubt, the Chinese have done many things that are completely unacceptable.
But hopefully our differences with China can be resolved peacefully, because a full-blown war with China would be absolutely catastrophic.
Unfortunately, anti-China hysteria in Washington is increasing with each passing day, and the Biden administration seems to relish any opportunities that they get to provoke the Chinese.
If the warmongers in D.C. really want a war with China, can we at least wait until the current conflict that we are involved in is over?
For a moment, think about this from a strategic standpoint.
Western politicians are now publicly acknowledging that we are “at war” with Russia, and it appears that this conflict in Ukraine is not going to end any time soon.
At this point the Ukrainians are using ammunition faster than we can provide it, and our own stockpiles are running really low because of how much we have already shipped out.
So why in the world would we even consider getting into another conflict right now?
Sadly, we may not have a choice.
The moment that China invades Taiwan, the U.S. and China will be at war.
Recently, CIA Director William Burns publicly stated that Xi Jinping has ordered the Chinese military to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027…
The US has entered into this dispute, providing weapons and intelligence, with Director William Burns warning that the US knew “as a matter of intelligence” that Xi had ordered his military forces to be ready to conduct an invasion of Taiwan by 2027.
Personally, I don’t think that Xi Jinping will wait that long.
I think that he realizes that he has a unique window of opportunity right now. The war in Ukraine is severely draining U.S. military resources, and Joe Biden is a dazed and confused old man.
If the Chinese wait until after the next U.S. presidential election, the Chinese may have to invade while a Republican is in the White House, and that is a scenario that I think Xi Jinping would prefer to avoid.
So I believe that it will happen sooner rather than later, and both sides just continue to flex their muscles in the Taiwan Strait.
For example, just consider all of the activity that we witnessed last week…
China and the United States have flexed their military might around Taiwan over the past three days, as tensions between the two rival powers flared up.
The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has sent 68 aircraft and 10 warships close to Taiwan since Monday, according to the island’s defence ministry, while the US confirmed its P-8A Poseidon reconnaissance plane had been deployed to fly through the Taiwan Strait.
Online flight-checking platforms showed the US had also sent aerial refuelling aircraft and bombers near the area.
If our leaders were smart, they would at least be seeking to delay the coming conflict with China.
But the truth is that they really do not know what they are doing, and so we could easily find ourselves fighting Russia and China at the same time.
