"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?

China and Russia launched their annual "Joint Sea-2026" naval exercises on July 6 in the Yellow Sea, with drills scheduled to run through July 13 in waters and airspace near the port city of Qingdao.

China and Russia launched their annual "Joint Sea-2026" naval exercises on July 6 in the Yellow Sea, with drills scheduled to run through July 13 in waters and airspace near the port city of Qingdao.

Following the exercises, naval forces from both countries will conduct a joint maritime patrol in unspecified areas of the Pacific Ocean. China's Defense Ministry said the activities are aimed at "jointly responding to security challenges and safeguarding regional peace and stability."

The drills include joint reconnaissance, air and missile defense, surface-strike operations and anti-submarine warfare. One training stage involves rescuing the crew of a simulated distressed submarine using a deep-submergence rescue vehicle.

China and Russia have held "Joint Sea" exercises annually since 2012. Last year's edition took place near the Russian port of Vladivostok and was also followed by joint patrols in the Pacific Ocean.

The exercises follow Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to China roughly two months prior, during which Putin described bilateral relations as reaching an "unprecedentedly high level" and Chinese President Xi Jinping called the partnership "unyielding." China has not condemned Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, though Beijing maintains it is a neutral party. Several Western governments, including the United States, allege Beijing has provided support to Moscow's war effort.
