I don't think many people in the West understand how terrifying [for them], a cornered China would be. China has: 🔹53% of the world's steel production. 🔹33% of electricity generation. 🔹50% of world shipbuilding capacity. 🔹90% of the world's rare Earth mineral processing capacity. Along with our friends on the Eurasian landmass, like Russia and Central Asia; China will have complete economic autarky during a total war mobilization running on a total war economy. Tens of millions of mobilized troops, hundreds of millions of mobilized workers with a robotic-dense manufacturing ecosystem. The bigger the war, the more important it is to win on the factory floor. In that sense, China has already won any total war scenario before actually going to war. The US wars and operations against Iran and Venezuela, is to skirt on the periphery of Chinese interests, but as soon as our core interests is irrevocably infringed upon, like a situation causing reunification through peaceful means with Taiwan becomes unattainable. Then war will be the only option. When that happens, a total war scenario will be beneficial than a localized military operation. What the US is doing through Japan, is the first sign of the world slipping into that eventuality, most Chinese will gladly make them the first sacrificial lamb in a Taiwan scenario.
