China says U.S. told it to shut its Houston consulate

While I understand the decision. A lot. I fear a conflict with China. Man, my draft card has less than 2 years on it. Don't take me there.

I do not want to take anyone there for sure....But.... China's economy is in the tank and America and her allies are not much better off. China needs to have their citizens focus on the evil American empire and not the evil CCP.

I figure they (China) will ram a ship in international waters (9 dash line China claims as their own) or go full out on Taiwan .. The ship thing will cause much consternation and finger pointing along with stern warnings .. The Taiwan scenario will lead to no telling where ??

But.... something is going to happen probably after the election IMO. They do not want Trump in the white house and if Biden and the democrats win China's geopolitical aims will be 50% or more complete.

I do agree with you, mostly,,, but Militarily, China can not take on America's Navy or Airforce. There would be no land battle here or there.
Taiwan is a game piece that China things they Own, but with President Trump in Office they would never make a move to take Taiwan, China should have taken Taiwan when Clinton, Bush or Obama was in Office.
Clinton would have sold Taiwan to China and Bush would have just acted Stupid and Obama would have Help China.
