Coming China Wars – of Geography and Near Space
China’s government and population face an existential crisis. Some are of their own making, such as population collapse. Some are geographical, such as lack of resources and ocean access. Great nations in such a crisis will fight rather than fade quietly. They may attack Taiwan, and they may attack Russia. This lesson covers the why and how this crisis is likely to play out with emphasis on the Near Space technology demonstrated by the Chinese airship overflight of the US in 2023. That asymmetric military advantage makes China more likely to win than most pundits understand.
