Re: Predictions for 2021
I'm not sure if there is a separate "Chinese invasion" thread, but it does seem very unlikely. Leaving aside the possibility of nuclear war in the event of an open war, the Chinese have always worked to undermine America in less obvious ways - corruption of politicians, stealing IP and producing everything more cheaply, establishing a network of influence (with academics especially), etc.
Why would the Chinese jeopardise all this power and influence for a direct invasion which would likely result in huge losses for both sides? It just doesn't make any sense.
I see the Chinese becoming more aggressive in undermining other countries, but not open war. Evidence of the former (plentiful) does not mean the latter.
