Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping (L) shakes hands with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd at Parliament House in Canberra June 20, 2010.
Xi Jinping would achieve Mao Zedong-level status in the Chinese Communist Party by capturing Taiwan and aims to do so in the coming decade by outcompeting the U.S. military, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has said.
Rudd, now president of the Asia Society in New York, published his thoughts in the upcoming March/April issue of Foreign Affairs, in which he calls the next 10 years "the decade of living dangerously."

I wouldn't be so sure. Team Biden knows they think he is weak and Hjbter as well as any number of Biden business associates need to be protected. I wouldn't be surprised if team Biden acts decisively. Combine this with the ubtter incompetence of US civilian and military leaders. There's certainly allot that can go wrong here. Perhaps God will intervene here.
Millions of American's are without electricity. Another sign of decline and decay in the imperial core. Yet America will fight and win a war against the world's most populous country with the biggest economy?
America wears the clown mask.
"U.S. a power in "irreversible decline". I hear that many time since WWII. Well, the danger is the belief of Xi, this could be the first step of miscalculation. That said, I don't think the Chinese forget that the US has around 7,000 nuclear warheads.
China has enough dirt on Biden for the press to bury Trump 3 times over...
