Partly under threat, and partly because China would rather work with, not against America. They know that they have a bleak future otherwise.

China does not want to work with the U.S. It wants to subjugate the U.S. and destroy it as a world power.
@GranolaRay6mos6MO
Yes and no. They would if they could, but they can’t so they won’t. Demographics are destiny and China is in steep decline. Their dream of global domination has been cut short.
@TruthfulFr33m4rket6mos6MO
Russia is also in severe demographic decline but it didn’t keep Putin from believing that invading Ukraine was a good idea. Dictators become such slaves to their imperialist ambitions that they no longer make rational decisions.
@GranolaRay6mos6MO
I’d in fact argue Putin invaded when he did precisely because he knew it was his last opportunity before the falling population of able bodied troops makes it impossible. Re: China and Taiwan it could be a similar situation.
