China is one of the most powerful countries in the world. Their military capacity has steadily increased year by year. What could a war between America and China mean for Canada?
This article is influenced by the recent Chinese Spy Balloon incident where a Chinese spy ballon flew over Canadian and American airspace, before being shot down by a US fighter jet. This has strained tensions even more between China and America.
Right now, China and America risk going to war in Taiwan as an invasion by the Chinese is inevitable. The US made it very clear that they would come to the defence of Taiwan, which could ultimately lead to all out nuclear war. Control over the ocean could also mean the difference between victory or defeat for the US. China has consistently called the US “Unstable” or “Over Reacting.” The war has predicted to start small, but it could escalate to something much bigger, like nuclear war, which would be the end of the world. This is of course pure speculation, but is a real possibility.
The US really hasn’t had to worry about military presence in the water, until now. China has built up a massive military collection of ICBM’s and troops that could strike at any time. A great example of what we could expect between China and the United States is the war in Ukraine. This has began to paint a stunning picture of what a modern day war could look like between China and the United States.
What could this mean for Canada?
Canada, has a small military presence compared to the United States Of America and China. A war between these two countries could make our economy struggle significantly. Besides the economic destruction this war could cause for Canada, if it escalates we could become involved in the war, and it could end up in total nuclear destruction. Canada for all we know will be destroyed, and would look similar to the game Fallout 4 which plays with the idea that the US could go to war with China.
In conclusion, this war could mean the end of the world, and we must avoid this war at all costs as humanity could risk total extinction.
