Will we see an actual war with China?
HOT! OFF-TOPICYeah, but this time it's the opposite. I have Chinese friends asking me if a war will start. Meanwhile there's no American even considering this as an option. I personally don't think a war will happen. The probability is next to zero. But I do believe the trade war will continue and the...- AgainstAllOdds
