re: #202 ckkatz
UC put up a video today of former Aussie PM Rudd presenting his take on the current leadership of PRC and what it means.
His belief is that the current leader of China is going to increase his activism in making China a global leader and compete with the US in that regard.
Implied is that unlike his predecessor, Xi Jinping is not going to wait until the sweet-bye-and-bye future century for Taiwan to fall under PRC control.
It’s all a formula for disaster. I don’t think the US or China can win in this confrontation. Both will try to puppet-regime any conflict instead of going head on. Japan should be worried. Korea and Vietnam too.
