    Seems like a whole lot of bullshit coming from Xi. All while continuing to build up his military for a conflict.

    Reminds me of that old saying, “Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggie’ until you can find a rock.”

      It would be irresponsible of China not to prepare internally for the possibility of war with the US.

      At the same time, they should and are trying to avoid that outcome, since a war between the two would benefit no one.
