This war has been going on for quite some time. To a certain degree, this is all related to the Thucydides Trap.
Anastasia Lin has called for a new cold war against the Chinese government, not the Chinese people.

She makes a good case about the "iron fist" of the Chinese communist party. She talks knowledgeably about all the crimes against the common people.
We have been at economic and cyber war with China for many years. This has gone into high gear.
Armstrong brings the worst of news;
"the Democrats have nothing to stand on but the virus for the 2020 election. They used the Russians for the 2016 election and this time they are using China. They seem hell-bent on creating World War III simply for political gain which they may think will not come to blows – in that they are wrong!"
"Make no mistake about it, this will not be just a war with China – but also against Russia."

I'll add some headlines to give a better idea of where we are.
5/22 China’s cyber war against America – Gatestone Institute
5/25 China threatens action if U.S. intervenes in Hong Kong – Reuters
5/25 Former HK governor: China’s aggression should be on G7 agenda – Reuters
5/25 U.S. likely to impose sanctions against China over Hong Kong law – CNBC
America is looking for a cause célèbre to bring the mainstream around to the idea of "evil China".
In the interest of making sure that the Chinese are clear about an open declaration of war, America sold some heavy torpedoes to Taiwan.
Trump's economic war against China has been in high gear for some time. He has cut off the dollar supply just when they need dollars for servicing their foreign debt.
Will China fall back on selling gold to keep afloat,,,,, dunno
The Russian bond market collapsed and, Russia sold oil out the back door to survive.
5/25 China lowers yuan midpoint to weakest since Great Recession – Reuters
Armstrong made it clear; the reserve currency will not suffer hyperinflation. We are playing that trick to the limit. China can NOT do that because of the "impossible trinity"
5/25 Why isn’t the dollar collapsing given trillions in printing? – The Street
5/26 Greyerz – Jim Sinclair $87,000 gold and China’s 20,000 tonnes of gold – KWN
It just is NOT that simple.
5/25 “Only a matter of time before developing-market stocks unravel” – Zero Hedge
This unravelling is going to be spectacular.
Will China go to kinetic war to have a somebody to blame economic collapse on? Dunno,but, it is likely.
5/25 China unveils US$500 bil fiscal stimulus, refrains from going all-in – SCMP
China is losing markets so,they will print money.
"“We Chinese value peace, harmony, sincerity and integrity. We never pick a fight or bully others, but we have principles.“ That as the Foreign Minster publicly warned the US should give up “wishful thinking” that it can change China, and that its actions (to counter China, in US eyes) were pushing the two countries towards a new Cold War that is “dangerous and will endanger global peace.” (Regular readers will recall we have been saying this is the reality for years.)
In short, both sides are saying they are the victims and the good guys: in fact Xi Jinping yesterday referred to China as “the broadest, most genuine, and most effective democracy to safeguard the fundamental interests of the people.”
Yeah, as long as they are not Chinese people.
Capital flows to where it is most respected / protected. Anglo-America can prod China to crack down violently on Hong Kong. The Communist leadership is too stupid and dogmatic to see that a very light hand over Hong Kong would be in their best interests in the long run. Great Britain has offered sanctuary to Hong Kongers.
The Communist mentality in Beijing will eventually bring them to direct confrontation with the West.
