"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."

"We expect the effective tariff rate on China to rise by 5-10 percentage points in 2025."

"[I]t's highly likely there will be a sharp increase in the average tariff on China from 15% to 40% starting early in 2025."

"The new administration is likely to announce the China and auto tariffs relatively soon after the January 20 inauguration."

"Tomorrow, the president will be implementing a 25% tariff on Mexico, a 25% tariff on Canada, and a 10% tariff on China."

"We will be charging China an additional 10% tariff."

Will Trump Impose 10% Tariff on Chinese Goods?

A Chinese fugitive surnamed Han, suspected of drug smuggling and trafficking, was repatriated from the U.S. to China — the first such drug-related handover in recent years, according to China's Ministry of Public Security.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out the repatriation using immigration enforcement cooperation channels, acting on leads provided by China's narcotics control authorities, the Ministry of Public Security said.
