Like the amount of half truth and ignored nuance in this piece is staggering.

EDIT: It is even more insane when you consider there is an explicit plan by the US intelligence state to break up and balkanize China. Like they aren't even trying to keep it secret.

    A cold war is already under way. The question is whether Washington can deter Beijing from initiating a hot one.

    Ah yes, just like the last time China started a war with America, by getting involved in the American Civil War. No, wait a second, that doesn't sound right...
