Analyzing growing political and economic tensions between Beijing and Washington, China’s National Institute for South China Sea Studies warned that tensions between the two major powers can unexpectedly escalate.
Asia Times reported that “concerns are growing that intense rivalry could spill over into armed conflict.”
In May, Reuters reported that the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR), a think tank affiliated with the Ministry of State Security, China’s top intelligence body, concluded that the US is actively seeking to destabilize China.
With the American empire in clear state of decline, it cannot be ruled out that just like a drowning person, Washington will cling to anything to remain an empire. Thus, chances of the US resorting to radical and irrational acts cannot be ruled out.
