Yes, I agree that the PRC assertiveness is a formula for disaster. I understand that Japan, Korea and Australia are all very concerned.

As I understand it, there are a couple of wild cards. The first is if the GQP, in particular tfg wins in 2024. The second is whether tfg compromised US and allied security in the Pacific.

Remembering that his family, Ivanka in particular, got some sweetheart licensing agreements. I wonder what else we do not know.

I have no doubt that US Intelligence has been doing damage assessments on tfg’s activities for at least 2 years now. And probably been trying to fix things as well.

I have no insider information, but I do wonder if Putin chose when to invade Ukraine because he expected some of the intelligence information he got from tfg to become obsolete.

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.
