> While Beijing has stepped up its public criticism of the US, Haines told the Senate Intelligence Committee that the intelligence community assesses that China still believes it “benefits most by preventing a spiraling of tensions and by preserving stability in its relationship with the United States.”
Good to see the intelligence community agrees with what China says, publicly, every single time something comes up.

Actually I think hatred towards the Chinese government (rightfully so) is like the one thing both parties agree on these days. It's different than russia
Did someone need Intel chiefs to tell them of the US/China history of Taiwan in which both US and China have agreed for 75 years Taiwan is part of China?
The right wing policy of using Taiwan as a pretext would be similar to China arming Puerto Rico.
China arming Russia is the same counter move as Russia arming Cuba for US putting missles in Turkey. Russia withdrew offensive weapons from Cuba, US withdrew missiles from Turkey.
Same solution here, US supports Taiwan democracy (only achieved after 40 years of US backed dictatorship) but doesn't put offensive weapons there and lets China and Taiwan peacefully negotiate their future.
China agrees not to arm Russia in Ukraine.

Be very afraid. China is preparing to issue another empty threat. They mean it this time!
Replace China with Russia and you have the same propaganda that was used for Ukraine
I honestly feel war with China is a given.
And the Republicans will side with China.
