China will tolerate a multipolar world with SDRs, in fact it would be a big advantage for them versus the current system with the USD as primary exchange medium.
War? Never fun, but the Chinese Navy now has more and newer blue-water ships than the U.S. Navy. They stole the design of the W88 for their strategic arsenal, and more importantly they possess a huge surge capability to rapidly manufacture war machines when they are needed. What’s that old Teddy Roosevelt saying? Something about quietly carrying a big stick?  |
