War with China is Inevitable By James Reed

Why is war between the US and China inevitable? Can China's war preparations with Taiwan be dismissed as sabre-rattling? Assuming that god emperor Xi does not want to be seen as a paper tiger, we should accept his words on the face of it. Xi did tell senile US president Joe Biden that China will reunify Taiwan with China, come what may. A peaceful option is out of the question as Taiwan will have none of that. Indeed, as I see it this war has already started, as China's hacking army is busy at work attempting to destroy US, and Australian infrastructure:

"President Joe Biden's administration warned that Chinese hackers have been positioning themselves inside critical U.S. infrastructure to cause "societal chaos" from within should war break out.

According to reports, the Communist Party of China's military has burrowed into more than 20 major utilities suppliers in the last year including a water utility in Hawaii, a major West Coast port and at least one oil and gas pipeline. They reportedly also bypassed elaborate cyber security systems by intercepting passwords and log-ins unguarded by junior employees.

This project they are conducting amid growing tension over Taiwan was codenamed Volt Typhoon. Analysts commented this could unplug U.S. efforts to protect its interests in the South China Sea. "It is very clear that Chinese attempts to compromise critical infrastructure are in part to pre-position themselves to be able to disrupt or destroy that critical infrastructure in the event of a conflict," said Brandon Wales of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS') Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)."

Yet, the illogic of globalism dictates that trade still occurs, so that the dragon gets constantly fed, ready for the big day.

"One of the biggest bombshells of the entire year just dropped, but now it has almost entirely disappeared from the news cycle. NBC News is reporting that during their recent summit meeting in San Francisco, Chinese President Xi Jinping told Joe Biden to his face that a decision has been made to "reunify Taiwan with China" one way or the other. Normally the Chinese keep their cards very close to the vest, and so this was a very unusual move. My guess is that the Chinese wanted to see how Biden would respond to such a direct statement. Xi Jinping expressed his desire to take over Taiwan peacefully if possible, but we all know that isn't going to happen. So war is coming, and the only thing that needs to be decided now is the timing…

Chinese President Xi Jinping bluntly told President Joe Biden during their recent summit in San Francisco that Beijing will reunify Taiwan with mainland China but that the timing has not yet been decided, according to three current and former U.S. officials.

Xi told Biden in a group meeting attended by a dozen American and Chinese officials that China's preference is to take Taiwan peacefully, not by force, the officials said.

The Chinese leader also referenced public predictions by U.S. military leaders who say that Xi plans to take Taiwan in 2025 or 2027, telling Biden that they were wrong because he has not set a time frame, according to the two current and one former official briefed on the meeting.

I kind of expected the White House to deny that this exchange took place, but that did not happen…

The White House didn't deny the exchange, which occurred during a Nov. 15 summit outside San Francisco that was attended by a dozen US and Chinese officials.

"I'm not gonna get into the specifics of the discussion between the two leaders," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Air Force One en route to Milwaukee.

Wow.

So why isn't everyone in America talking about this?

Why has this almost entirely disappeared from the news cycle already?

This is one of the biggest stories of the year.

War with China is coming, and the Chinese have been feverishly preparing for it.

For example, the Chinese just imposed export controls on rare earth processing technology…

Following the meeting between President Joe Biden and President Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation event in San Francisco last month, the hopes for de-escalation in Sino-US relations seem to have fallen apart after China announced export controls on rare-earths technologies.

China is the world's top processor of rare earths and has placed an export ban on technology to extract and separate rare-earth metals, according to Bloomberg, citing a document from the Ministry of Commerce.

The move comes as Washington and its allies try to reduce reliance on China's stranglehold of the global rare earths market. There are 17 rare earth metals, and Beijing controls about 85% of the global refining capacity. These metals are found in everything from electric vehicles to wind turbines to military hardware.

Expect to see more dramatic economic moves by the Chinese in the months ahead.

In addition, Chinese hackers have been feverishly hacking into "critical U.S. infrastructure" in anticipation of the coming conflict…

President Joe Biden's administration warned that Chinese hackers have been positioning themselves inside critical U.S. infrastructure to cause "societal chaos" from within should war break out.
