Why is the US provoking a fight with China?

Because their (US) planners know only too well that China is getting more muscular militarily with each passing day. They have calculated (and rightly so in my opinion) that it makes far more sense to start a proxy war with China NOW to degrade its military prowess. Than to wait ten or possibly fifteen years. Because by then, China would whip them hands down. I understand what I have just shared must sound quite insane, but from war gaming and game theory vantage – it makes perfect sense…….. That I think is what’s scary here.
