The question is what would be the respond of the USA if China place missiles and military bases in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea or in Mexico ? Two Russian bombers landed in Venezuela and the USA government immediately started to complain and talking about a military threat, the same situation took place when Hugo Chavez authorized joint military exercise in the Caribbean Sea along with Russian navy and the Venezuelan navy ships

And Jose Biden says that he can not stop her, or maybe he does not want to stop her
Perhaps the elite of the USA need some foreign enemies to demonize to distract from the way their own country seems to be falling apart?
PRC’s announcement of six large exclusion zones around Taiwan starting on Thursday, and lasting for four days, has the potential to turn this into a full-scale crisis. Three of the six zones intrude into Taiwan’s 12-mile limit. That is unprecedented. If China were to move ships or aircraft into those areas, it would amount and invasion of Taiwan territory.

I am painfully aware that when Russia announced its exercises on Ukraine’s borders, the majority opinion here on the forum was that it was not going to lead to an invasion.
Nevertheless, I do not anticipate hostilities to break out…yet.
While the Chinese provocative military exercises are rightly criticised, so too should the US one be.
5,000 soldiers from Indonesia, the United States and other countries have begun joint combat exercises on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, signalling stronger ties.

The alliances between the capitalists are temporary and convenient. When the ruling class of China was fighting against the Japanese along with the USA ruling class, they were the best, and when Richard Nixon signed the commercial, and technology agreement with China, they were the best too, but now that China is a super capitalist power, it is the worst. The new reasoning is that the Chinese capitalists are buying farms, lands and corporations in the USA and they should allowed the USA army and officials to intervene in Taiwan, the thing is that most of the US corporations and farms purchased by the Chinese capitalists they were in bankupcty. The USA working class does not own any lands, farms and corporations, those are inter class conflicts. The wealth owned by the Chinese capitalists was produced by the Chinese workers
Respected political commentator John Pilger talks of a coming war with China.
HIROSHIMA AT 77: John Pilger — Another Hiroshima is Coming — Unless We Stop It Now
“…We are not meant to question the daily torrent of anti-Chinese rhetoric, which is rapidly overtaking the torrent of anti-Russia rhetoric. Anything Chinese is bad, anathema, a threat…”
CIA’s No. 2 official made clear that the agency’s money and resources would be increasingly shifted to focusing on China.
Within intelligence agencies, hundreds of officers moving to China-focused positions, including some who were previously working on terrorism.
Another Hiroshima is coming …
Except, John Pilger, we can’t stop it, because the only way to stop it is world socialism, and there’s only a few hundred of us who want that.
So, i’m afraid that’s it. Close your eyes and say goodbye.
China’s decision to fire missiles over Taiwan must be contested, a top US military commander has said.
TM, to add to your woes and worries, a study published in the journal Nature Food projects that a full-scale nuclear conflict between the United States and Russia would spark a catastrophic global famine, with potentially as many as five billion people dying of starvation in the years immediately after the war
