An event that could deprive China and the US of their status as the most powerful countries has been named
If China and the US face a military conflict over the Taiwan issue, they will lose their status as the most powerful country in the world, Professor Jia Wenshan of Shandong University told RIA Novosti.
He admitted: "Frankly speaking, if the Taiwan Strait issue is not properly resolved, it will create a very disadvantageous situation not only for China, the US, Asia and the whole world." The expert noted that China and the US have been preparing for an armed conflict with each other for the past 10 years and have now effectively moved to mutual containment. In response, he stressed that this issue should be resolved through peaceful negotiations.
Earlier, American political scientist Malek Dudakov stated in an interview with Lenta.ru that the contradictions around Taiwan and the disputed islands in the South China Sea could become a provoking factor for an armed conflict between the US and China.
