::In addition, while Donald Trump is not guaranteed to win the 2024 and it might be a close race in the electoral college, some people think he is more likely to win the 2024 election (due to the most accurate polling firms in 2020 saying he is the favorite in the majority of battleground states and that he has momentum in the majority of battleground states). If Trump is elected, he will put much higher tariffs on China which will hurt their already precarious economy. And if the USA puts tariffs on China, it may cause other countries to put tariffs on China. Several countries have recently raised their tariffs on China. Furthermore, at that point, China may export to other nations more and then face tariffs in those countries. None of this would be good for Russia which is the biggest seller of oil to China - especially since Trump indicates that he will ramp up oil production (which would not be good for Russia).

::At least in the next 5 years, China is unlikely to attack Taiwan. Amphibious assaults are difficult to do. And China, which has a big demographic crisis, sees how Russia is bogged down in an expensive quagmire that is a war of attrition in Ukraine and even if it "wins" this war (which seems likely), it will be a [[pyrrhic victory]] (And Russia may face an insurgency even if it "wins"). And Russia was expected to easily win against Ukraine which is why the incompetent, corrupt Russian generals gave Putin the green light for its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. In addition, the mercantile nation of China is much more vulnerable to boycotts and sanctions than Russia is and it already has a difficulty economy to contend with.

::As much as I hate to say it, when it comes to being a leading power in the world, the USA is going to be more powerful than China for the foreseeable future. On behalf of all American, freedom-loving patriots, I hereby declare total victory over the godless, communist leaders of China. Olé! Olé! Olé!
