Great power competition needn’t be violent, and the U.S. will be making a huge mistake if it allows its competiton with China to become so. From Ron Unz at unz.com:

Chinese President Xi Jinping and American President Joseph Biden
Back in the summer of 2018, I launched my American Pravda series in earnest, deciding to finally present some of the extremely controversial material that I’d gradually uncovered during the previous five or ten years.
One of my earliest articles focused upon the Jewish role in the Bolshevik Revolution and the resulting ideological aftershocks in America and other Western countries. This was obviously an ultra-touchy subject, including as it did a close examination of Henry Ford’s The International Jew and the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and I was naturally quite a bit skittish about my candid analysis. I therefore adopted a strategy of deflection, opening my article with a few paragraphs of important but almost totally unrelated material regarding Chinese society.
As I wrote in late July 2018:
Although I always had a great interest in history, I naively believed what I read in my textbooks, and therefore regarded American history as just too bland and boring to study.
By contrast, one land I found especially fascinating was China, the world’s most populous country and its oldest continuous civilization, with a tangled modern history of revolutionary upheaval, then suddenly reopened to the West during the Nixon Administration and under Deng’s economic reforms starting to reverse decades of Maoist economic failure.
Competition?
They conquered without firing a shot in Sun Tzu style.
Reading about OK weed farms being taken over by CCP.
That was supposed to be one of the last legal states but they realized pulling people over and putting them on probation would never equal what CO and other places are making.
The CPUSA (D) loves their fellow traveler comrades CCP and wouldn’t do anything to upset the apple cart?
Yellow man give smackdown if they do.
The yellow Sun Tzu ballwasher man won’t bust a move?
That sucks.
Making good commies is something worthwhile to be.
At least there are plenty of home grown subhuman commie Bolshevik vermin.
Useless idiot and fellow traveler to chose from.
Leave you alone?
That is so cute, and not how that works.
Forward, si se puede!
