"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."

Will There Be a US-China War?

On Tuesday, Chinese and Russian militaries conducted their 10th joint strategic air patrol, with two Russian Tu-95 nuclear-capable bombers and two Chinese H-6 bombers flying over the East China Sea and western Pacific Ocean for approximately eight hours.

Japan scrambled fighter jets in response to the joint patrol, with Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi stating the operations represented a show of force against Japan and posed a serious concern for national security, while Japanese aircraft strictly implemented air defense measures.

South Korea deployed aircraft after seven Russian warplanes and two Chinese aircraft entered its air defense identification zone above waters off the Korean peninsula's eastern and southern coasts, though no violation of South Korean territorial airspace occurred.

South Korea's Ministry of National Defense lodged a strong diplomatic protest with China and Russia over the unauthorized entry of their military aircraft into the Korea Air Defense Identification Zone, emphasizing the military would actively respond while complying with international law.

The joint patrol occurred days after Japan accused Chinese fighter jets of directing fire-control radar at Japanese aircraft over international waters near Okinawa, an allegation China's embassy denied, saying Japanese aircraft had endangered flight safety near the Liaoning carrier.
