What are the chances that china will go to war with the usa

I think if theres a war between the two it would be in 10+ years. As of now our two countries are too dependent on eachother. We support their economy and they support ours. They would lose alot money without us and we would lose alot of our supplies. There's too many incentives to NOT go to war for both countries. Think about it. They even make our pharmaceuticals!

Military conflict between the USA and China seems unlikely to me, since both countries have a lot to lose and it's difficult to see any potential gains. But anything is possible when two countries are in conflict and the leadership of one or both of them feels threatened and believes a war would play well in domestic political terms.

It is true that China has an expansionist mindset, and Chinese diplomacy has become markedly more aggressive (or assertive, as I'm sure they'd see it) in the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak. They're no longer responding in measured terms to the anti-China bluster by Trump and criticism by other leaders, but rather lashing out and even spreading anti-US conspiracy theories about the virus.

But I suspect that in the short- and medium-term, the Chinese leadership is going to be preoccupied with internal economic affairs and dealing with a huge mess that's ultimately the result of failings in how the Chinese Communist party operates.

Nobody knows how the current shit-storm will play out in the long-term, but it is clear China is going to take a huge economic hit due to a few low-level Party bureaucrats in Wuhan deciding a few months ago that they'd try to hide the outbreak of a new disease. There's poetic justice in that, but the big question is how the people of China will react to large-scale job loses caused by a sudden vanishing of demand.

My understanding is that most of the workforce that makes all the stuff we've come to rely on are informal internal migrants, and in China, you're only able to get state-supplied medical care and a minimal level of unemployment benefit in the place where you're a registered resident. So it could be that loads of people will be forced to leave their shitty workers' barracks or ten-to-a-room city apartments and return to where their family came from and work in the fields if they want to eat.

In any Western country, that would be a recipe for domestic strife, but Xi Jinping and the coterie at the top of the pile in China have a tight grip on the country at the moment, and culturally Chinese people tend value conformity and compliance. So maybe they'll be able to keep a lid on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if hints of domestic disturbances start to leak through the barriers in the months to come.

Autocratic governments are very strong until the day comes when they suddenly aren't, and then things change abruptly. The complete disappearance of the Chinese Communist Party seems unlikely, but I wouldn't be astonished if one of the long-term consequences of coronavirus is a significant change in how China is governed.

I wouldn't worry. Even if it happens any bombs they send over will fall apart before they even reach you. Their nukes probably take 4 AA batteries. Their guns and ammo are probably made of cheap PVC.

Slim to none.

It's significantly more likely that there'll be legal repercussions. Some states around the world have high ranking officials that feel China screwed us and owe some sort of compensation. That said, anyone that has said such a thing Chinese leaders have called out as "Bigoted racists". It would take a significant movement of people for China to even consider doing anything to even ACT like they're sorry (which they most certainly aren't). I foresee hateful acts aimed at the Chinese people that visit/live in certain places in the coming years.

Oh please. You have a demented narcissistic orange psychopathic troll who is supporting the idiots protesting against the lockdown. He denied the whole corona virus thing and said it will just go away like a miracle!! That’s why you guys are now fucked with so many dead and dying. Because of the idiot you elected as your leader. Clean up your own backyard before criticising and blaming others.

their generals are too busy perfectin chicken recipes to command armies

I'm not interested in a war between China, and the United States, but I would be fine with declaring war on wet markets.

I don't see any major war. An Arial exchange with several shot down fighters or a small naval engagement with a few sunk ships is plausible though.

Lawls we ain't going to war with China. Unless the openly assassinate wone of our top people or something that's just not gonna happen. We would be fucked without china

The redistribution of power that would've resulted from a third world war happened a long time ago.

ZERO

If there were a war, it would end in a few hours. If America declared war on China, China would just nuke America. If China were to declare war on America, China would just nuke America.

You mean America going to war with China. High.

And I honestly couldn’t give any less of a shit if they do.
