The problem is US has NATO allies and all kinds of other allies when war breaks out. But CCP has none. Putin will be laughing his ass off when he sees CCP opening a war with US instead of a war between US and Putin. As a matter of fact, if CCP intentionally or accidentally broke a war with US, it will be due to its own incompetency and will be abandoned by Chinese people. The problem is CCP’s system is too vulnerable to compete with other democratic system.
