At what point are China's actions considered acts of war?
Anon has a theory building, based on Trump's deal making skills and master tactician status. He will not only continue to provoke China, but continue to reveal things like Hunter that embarrass and disgrace them simultaneously. The virus, the voting machines, the backdoor chips, the gold manipulation, all of it will add up to a call for war.
But Trump is not interested in war, he is interested on de-fanging the Dragon. Long after his second term. So I think the price China must pay is Taiwan, and possibly Hong Kong. He is already building a bloc of Asian nations surrounding China, and making China as toxic as possible to the rest of the world. We know China must rely on food imports for its population. Trump will allow China the opportunity to display its willingness to co-exist, by releasing Taiwan and clearing the slate. This would probably coincide with a collapse of the CCP, or at least the Xi CCP.
