As the numerous examples in the brilliant essay in the link illustrate, the ruling class's goal in fighting a bogeyman enemy is primarily to be AT war against it, not to WIN the war against it. This is why U.S. war-making often seems inept or irrational to those who think the purpose of U.S. political leaders is to WIN the war, and who don't understand that no, the purpose is to be AT war. And the essay explains exactly why they need to be at war and has a section specifically on the coming war on china https://www.pdrboston.org/oppressors-need-bogeyman-enemies

Intent on constantly increasing their own power and wealth, the military industrial complex of the “rules-based-order” is nefarious, as Eisenhower warned. BUT- my biggest question regarding your well-thought presentation, is this: Are they REALLY willing to go to the brink of nuclear annihilation, just to attain more money? What kind of a gamble is that?
