Where could the US and China find themselves in a direct confrontation? Taiwan is the obvious answer: President Xi Jinping has said the island will eventually be unified with the mainland, either through peaceful means or by force. In fact, there was so much concern about the possibility of a conflict that The Economist called Taiwan “the most dangerous place on earth” in 2021. For now, though, military experts agree that an invasion is not imminent as Beijing still needs to boost its military capabilities. This is a fight Xi will not want to lose.
Instead, the world’s most dangerous place moniker belongs to the South China Sea.
