Chinese planes in Chinese airspace. I see no problem with that.

I don't too much care about the airspace, just meant to report the latest on the escalating tensions between U.S. and China, which is somewhat worrisome. Even a trade war would be devastating for the economy, and we have already restricted their access to important computer processors, and continue to poke the bear like we did with Russia. It really seems like the U.S. is angling for some sort of conflict with China. I'm no fan of the CCP, but this doesn't seem like smart politics to me

Government think tanks have been writing about war against China for years and preparing for it ever since Obama started the switch from the Middle East to the Asia Pacific.

The strategy in the 2016 RAND report was to invoke a regional conflict (through Taiwan), where they believe that while the US may have some economic set backs, China would take a lot more damage.

The second strategy that some in government are vying for is all out nuclear war against China. COVID-19 and heavy media control were two of the phases in Operation Lockstep/Anglo-Saxon Mission.
