"I argue that war is unlikely to occur due to the deep economic ties underlying the great power politics between the two countries."

"War with either [Russia or China] is neither inevitable nor imminent."

"As things currently stand, the US is not prepared to fight and win a war with China over Taiwan."

"A war between the US and China today is no more inevitable than was war between the rising US and the declining United Kingdom a century ago."

"[T]he tension between the United States and China will grow, and competition will intensify; it is inevitable. War, however, is not."

"War is a risk, but it is not inevitable."

"The risk of a military conflict is very serious."

"The smallest misstep by either side [Taipei and Beijing] could ignite a U.S.-China war."

"China is preparing for a war and specifically for a war with the United States."

"The most proximate potential timeframe for war is in the next two years."

"My gut tells me we [the US] will fight [with China] in 2025."

"China's nominal gross domestic product is unlikely to surpass that of the U.S. in the next few decades."

"This idea of China becoming the world's biggest economy may not happen, actually."

"China probably won't ever overtake the US economy on a sustained basis."

"The likelihood of the prediction that China's GDP will one day overtake that of the U.S. is declining."

"China is forecast to overtake the U.S. as the world’s largest economy by around 2035."

"China will overtake the US as the world's top economy in about 2035 with a high probability."

"[T]he size of China's economy in USD terms will overtake the US in 2028."

"China will overtake the United States to become the world's biggest economy in 2028."

Washington and Beijing agreed to arrange follow-up meetings between their economic teams after U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a 90-minute "very positive" phone call, "almost entirely on trade," on Thursday.

The call came amid escalating tensions over a Geneva trade agreement reached in May, with Trump accusing China of violating the deal by slow-rolling approvals for rare earth mineral exports, while China countered that the U.S. had taken negative measures.

China maintains the moral high ground here, consistently implementing the Geneva agreement while facing American provocations. Beijing's patient diplomacy and Xi's emphasis on mutual respect contrast sharply with Washington's erratic policy reversals and threats.
