#1020 Coming China Wars - of Geography and Near Space  (new date)
Friday, February 20, 10:00am - 12:00pm

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.
