Why do you think you're right?

Why do you think you're right?
China has no interest in causing a conflict.
Why might you be wrong?
America will want to bring a conflict forward before its window of opportunity closes.

Why do you think you're right?
China doesn't need to invade Taiwan - it just needs the 2050 plan to mature and for Taiwanese to watch the American empire implode and demand too much of Taiwan.
Why might you be wrong?
The Americans could get quislings to declare independence.
Why do you think you're right?
There is a difference between the actual threat, and the reported threat, because of the incentive of reportiing an increased perceived threat. The industry is pushing for war preparations, or actual war, as a means of economic recovery, so the threat will be reported as much higher than it actually is.
Why might you be wrong?
The threat might be reported accurately, and therefore much lower than my prediction here.
Why do you think you're right?
Getting closer. China is more likely to get access to a base than have one exclusively.
Why might you be wrong?
An African country may feel so threatened by an increasingly aggressive west it feels a Chinese base, however small, provides a measure of security.
