China knows the Republicans are going to gut NATO,
China doesn't care,
China is committed to breaking the West's dominion, which is why it's making Russia into its vassal-state, totally-dependent-on-China, but with accountability/responsibility not having any direct-line into China, in the 1st place..
Once Trump's finished destroying the US, then .. then the real action will begin, militarily.
Give that about 1 dozen, or less, years, to occur.
ContinuousHammerfall's when the NATO-allied countries have been gutted, bankrupted, torn-apart through "populist dictatorship", etc, and suddenly the triple-alliance throws EVERYthing they've got against us, to break our capability...
Between now & then should be 2 more stages:
economic-collapse, which Trump uses to gain & secure dictatorship,
& the butchering of NATO & the West, economically, which should last .. roughly 7 or 8 years, or so.
Once those're done, then the WW3 tantrum/pogrom can begin.
