No, it’s about finally recognizing the reality that the Chinese state is our primary geopolitical adversary, and pretending otherwise is no longer merely naïve — it is reckless. And yet, somehow, we always act as if China will stop doing what it has been doing for decades, like this time the lion won’t eat you if you smother yourself in catnip and climb into its cage. If China were to seize Taiwan, as it is constantly threatening and positioning to do, it would gain unprecedented control over the foundational infrastructure of the modern world. And not just an enemy, but our greatest enemy. An enemy we not only trade with, but have also tied ourselves to.
