The increasing hostility between USA and China is the most dangerous conflict in today's world. Is this a primitive game of tit for tat? Or is it an intellectual game of weiqi, the ancient Chinese chess game?

But, all the West's hype about China's threat to invade Taiwan is really nothing but the standard cry wolf ruse. It is quite obvious that China's best strategy against Taiwan is not an invasion but a total blockade as and when necessary. A no-fly zone and a naval blockade would suffice to choke off all commercial flights and shipping to Taiwan.

USA can run the gauntlet of total Taiwan blockade by fully committing its air force and navy in the most dangerous war far away from home. USA can try to break the blockade using its massively destructive military force, bring the war to the Chinese mainland, apply all manners of severe sanctions against China, drag in the military of all its Asian and other allies, and escalate it into a most devastating nuclear war and even WW3.

It is time for all concerned to take all necessary actions to prevent the terrible tragedy triggered by a devastating Taiwan war from happening.

USA and China really have to seriously negotiate with each other to achieve peace and to avoid global war.

The fate of humanity hangs in the balance!
