Christine Wormuth warns that the American homeland would face the consequences if China were to get into a “major war” with the United States. Speaking at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based think tank, Wormuth stated that the attacks would come in two forms, kinetic and non-kinetic. Kinetic refers to active warfare with the use of lethal force, while non-kinetic includes cyberattacks on the power grid and other infrastructure.
Eroding Support: China’s Strategy to Lower US Morale
Wormuth added that China would aim to lower the morale of the American people by targeting the will of the public. This strategy, according to Wormuth, is to erode support for any potential conflict between the two nations.
“Deteriorating Relations: US-China Tensions on the Rise” The relationship between the United States and China appears to be further deteriorating as concerns grow about the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance activities in North America and its possible military support of Russia in its war on Ukraine.
Consequences of Conflict: A War between US and China
If a war were to break out between the United States and China, the consequences could be catastrophic for both nations. The attacks on the American homeland could cause widespread damage to the power grid and other critical infrastructure, potentially leading to widespread chaos and loss of life.
Furthermore, the attacks on the will of the American people could have long-lasting effects on the nation’s morale and support for any future conflict. The consequences of a war between the two nations could be felt globally, potentially causing widespread destabilization and damage to the global economy.
It is crucial that both nations work towards finding a diplomatic solution to avoid any potential conflict and protect the well-being of the American people and the rest of the world.
