Whether the current hostility will further intensify and lead to #war remains to be seen. It is hoped that this will not happen. It is, however, indisputable that #China’s rise and, especially, the fear it has created in #America is the main reason behind the latter’s growing confrontation with the former. What’s more, whether it’s intentional or not, it is #XiJinping - or, more exactly, his forceful posturing both at home and abroad - that has considerably intensified such a friction.

At the National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) last October, Xi not only declared that China 'has stood up, grown rich, and is becoming strong' and 'with an entirely new posture, now stands tall and firm in the East.' He also urged his rising country to 'stride forward at the forefront of the world' and 'take center stage' in the world. In many other statements and manifestations, Xi makes clear that the Middle Kingdom is determined to realize its 'Chinese Dream' to become a, if not the, leading global power - technologically, economically and militarily.

#Trump has yet to pay a visit to #UnitedStates troops overseas because he has been 'very busy with everything that’s taking place here.' Trump’s comments about being too busy come despite him receiving regular criticism for the number of times he has taken to the golf course during his presidency - 68 times by the latest count. Asked why he had not yet made a trip to visit troops, Trump said it was not a particularly important part of his job.

Some #veterans have been less than impressed with Trump’s stance on visiting troops risking their lives overseas. 'Veterans aren’t surprised Trump has no interest in going to war, after he used his wealth and elite connections to avoid the draft five times while working class people went in his place,' according to Alexander McCoy, a former U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant and spokesperson for progressive veterans group Common Defense
