Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger has warned that a cataclysmic conflict between the USA and China is inevitable and will be “worse than world wars” unless something drastic is done to sort out their differences.
Kissinger issued the dire warning at an event hosted by the National Committee on US China Relations in New York last week.
“We are in a difficult period now. I am confident the leaders on both sides will realize the future of the world depends on the two sides working out solutions and managing the inevitable difficulties,” said Kissinger.

Summit.news reports: A permanent conflict between Washington And Beijing would be unwinnable and lead to “catastrophic outcome,” he added.
“It’s no longer possible to think that one side can dominate the other…it will be worse than the world wars that ruined European civilization,” said Kissinger.
The U.S. and China have been embroiled in a trade war since President Trump began imposing tariffs on thousands of Chinese-made products in a bid to end unfair trading practices.
if we keep the Democrats COMPLETELY out of any Discussions with the Chinese there will be NO CONFLICT –Trump has got this, Trust the plan KAG

He knows because he helped plan the upcoming conflict. They have it all mapped out. A great depopulation manuver. China has to cut its population down by half, if not more. They want to thin out the USA population also, they want to kill the conservatives off so they can do away with the constitution. they want to rule low IQ people. Problem is, they wont be able to get things done that will support their standard of living. They will kill of the smart people and their machines will break and collect dust. This is their problem. This is why they have not pushed the final solution button yet.

It’s always been the Bolshevik Talmudists that have worked diligently to destroy Western Christian civilization. The descendants of Qayin have always acted on bloodlust against those formed in the image of Elohim. Esau / Edom invented myth that Europe has been destroyed; Titus 1:14 [give no heed to Jewish fables]. Barbara Lerner Spectre, as the the founder and spokeswoman for the Paideia, a wing of Irgun? “If we would quit being childish, accept, bow down and worship their anti-christ we will have Shalom”; Philippians 3:2; [Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision].and get your damn vaccinations.

We KNOOOOW that’s what YOU WANT, Hank…..Your precious preDICKtive programming…GFY…and fucking DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE already….The Flames await!!
Kissinger..having caused so much damage with his efforts while in a position of power is now poison….just like Bliar in the UK..nobody wants to hear him again…he stinks…
Just possibly he could be right..for the first time…
we are fighting all things Chinese for what ???..some noble concept of human rights ??? to correct some terrible wrong which is causing suffering all around the World ???…
NO ..we are trying to rein in their manufacturing to provide relief to our own manufacturing base….
that would be fine..but it is not going to be the likely outcome…all the sanctions ..all the blacklisting…simply add costs to our own poor people’s living costs..without any increase in their employment conditions…..
the incessant pinpricks against China only seem to tighten their resolve to fight the unfairness…but the real danger is that the treatment is widely recognized as UNFAIR…and is lacking any genuine support in the wider World….
Trump has opened Pandora’s box and NOBODY knows what will come out
Interesting thoughts and I think you have identified the core question – for what? But I don’t think I’d blame Trump, though. China has been playing dirty – or on the edge of the rules – for decades now. It has only been this successful because the globalists realised they could outsource the actual work to slavery and still charge the same price for product. That meant a larger pool that could be divvied up between execs and shareholders; as well as a share bonanza based on improved earnings. Something had to be done, because this was all at the expense of workers and the middle class. There was also the massive trade deficit and China therefore holding trillions in Treasury debt. Trump is trying to return international trade to what it used to be: we have an excess of this and you have an excess of that, let’s swap! There’s no net money component in that and so no shift of economic power.
Note that I haven’t had to mention theft of IP or development of manufacturing techniques.
your last point is ironic….the Americans have a fine record of “stealing “technology…traditionally they buy it..Company and all and ship it back home where possible..and now they block the Chinese from following the same game plan….what you suggest re exchange is akin to reinstating the ls barter system…no longer feasible..particularly when we have a monetary system that has been tailor made to expedite trade…
the problem is that Trump is trying to MAGA…a sad cry for a return to the days of yore….He is trying to engender change..and has..and will….One suggestion is that nothing goes back to what it was…..
as indicated..Pandora,s box has been opened , the pieces will land where they land..and NOBODY knows where and how…But times of change can be dangerous times….
the main thrust you alluded to was to the globalists….Of course, they caused the transfer of wealth “because it suited them “…
Reality says that the only thing Trump has to do is to decree that 90% of goods sold by US Companies be made in America…
but do not hold your breath ..that would impinge on the God given right of the 1% to rip off all the money in the World…and also lead to a 10%..or 20%..or higher increase in the prices….Powerful American interests LIKE the pre-Trump economic system..so the solution lies in America….not China…
I’m not suggesting the barter system per se, but perhaps putting back in place its principles which are that trade should be a mutually beneficial exchange and that there should be no build up of monetary wealth as a result of it. $2 trillion in foreign exchange reserves is absurd and is essentially a transfer of power. The Chinese have played a blinder with it too. It could all have become toilet paper the moment it started to be spent – because that’s all you can do with it – but China has not only been buying strategic assets with it but have also managed to keep the dollars from being repatriated by creating local dollar-based economies.
There will be price rises, of course. But that’s the price for not selling your children’s futures down the river. America has essentially sold itself for flat screen TVs, iPhones and other Chinese tat. It’s astonishing how low the price was. Until Trump most people would have said the game was already over and that the US couldn’t service its debt to China (and indeed they have already made private arrangements on that score). It’s probably still in the balance but the trade deficit has to be eliminated and the actual debt has to be reduced (by growth over 5 or 10 years) or be inflated away. And, at the end of it, there has to be a working industrial economy, which there isn’t right now. Getting rid of some of this financialisation would certainly help too. Trump is making a stab at all these things and it’s better than anyone else is offering to do.
you do not mention the imbalance between the $$ and Yuan…America has stopped complaining about an ” undervalued ” yuan….most likely because it is just as likely that the difficulty is an overvalued $$$…Resultant from Trump’s tariff war is the countermove to replace the $$ as the World trade currency,,,
should that happen , it would be disastrous for America…it took the British at least two generations paying back the repatriating Pounds when a similar fate befell them….But regrettably, THAT is what is afoot….
Trump is following his lifetime ways by trying to pick all the low hanging fruit..spending all the money..and when he is inevitably thrown out…the new lot can go hang….the cupboard is empty..
he has screwed all the allies and there is not a lot left….and in the process will leave the American reputation in tatters….
