“If war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end,” China’s embassy said on X, reposting a line from a government statement on Tuesday.

Maybe something is lost in translation, but this sounds like they’re primarily talking about economic wars. My reading is that they’re just saying that they won’t accept US bullying, which is good.

Well, we can’t trust the US security guarantees and we have an expansionist egomaniac in the east. There’s not much choice to be honest. What good are any other investments if anything we build up is just gonna get crushed by Russia?
