Majority in US Expect Increased Tensions With China, Want Military Conflict Avoided - Poll
Dec. 14 2021

Most US voters expect tensions with China to rise in the foreseeable future, while also saying that both nations should avoid military clashes at all costs, a new Morning Consult poll revealed on Tuesday.

"Americans are more consistently bearish when it comes to the likelihood of rising military tensions with China. Fifty-six percent of voters anticipate that military tensions will increase over the next 12 months", a press release explaining the poll said.

An even higher share (65 percent) see tensions escalating over the next five years, the press release said.

However, a 59 percent majority feels the United States and China should avoid direct military conflict "at all costs", the release said.

Moreover, under the hypothetical scenario in which the US military believes China would be defeated, only a tiny share (15 percent) would favour engaging in such a conflict, the release added.

The poll of 1,999 registered US voters was conducted from 29 November to 1 December, according to the release.

Do Americans people have any power to stop their government waging wars?

Do Americans people have any power to stop their government waging wars?

Do the Chinese have any power to prevent their government from doing anything?

Can you name some things the Chinese government reverted due to public opinion? Other than finally calling Beijing "fog" air pollution after the US Embassy started posting particulate counts and Chinese citizens got outraged.

When the U.S. Embassy in Beijing started tweeting data from an air-quality monitor, no one could have anticipated its far-reaching consequences.

You are so brainwashed, Beijing's smog issue was hit the headline news long long before US embassy issued any report, you guys credit it to US embassy, so ridiculous...., and China successfully fix this issue, how about US gun and drug issues, when US government can fix them?

Elon Musk: Elon Musk on why China has been good to him and how it’s ‘better’ than US

In a wide-ranging interview with Business Insider, Tesla CEO Elon Musk spoke on a lot of issues. One was Tesla’s growing association with China. Musk was asked about the role of China’s standing in the world of technology and if the “ethical limitations” and certain regulations bothered him.

Beijing begins measuring tiny air pollutants

Beijing began disclosing the amount of tiny pollution particles in the air on Saturday, in a move that could improve disclosure but alarm a public barely resigned to the capital's choking smog.

China to US embassy: Stop telling people how bad the air is in Beijing.

Air quality in Beijing is notorious for being 'crazy bad.' The US Embassy in Beijing started tweeting air quality reports, but now China says it's unfair to judge it by international standards.

I was in Beijing and we know how we talked about it and it stayed on the headline news for weeks in winter time, do you know how funny you are telling a Beijinger what happened back then? Chinese government is very efficient in fixing public woes, how about US government? Gun violence, massing shooting, drug abusing, racism, homelessness... the list goes on forever, which was fixed by your government?

While we can't easily change the Federal Government we can over-rule it at times.

Examples of Massachusetts over-riding the Federal Government's stance

The people in my state voted for laws to stop gun violence with tough gun laws

As for racism in 1885 we voted that "separate is not equal" which was only overturned in the US in the 1960's.

I said my local State government (Massachusetts) was overriding the Federal Government's policy leading to far lower rates in my state of many of those things you mentioned versus the rest of the county.

I didn't say my local government policies affect the entire country. In fact many states don't agree with our laws at all.

It's nice to see how people's votes in the US do make a huge difference.

Charlie Baker backs Massachusetts's strict gun laws as a national model

As Democrats in Washington, D.C., again push for stricter federal gun laws in the wake of two mass shootings that killed 18 people in the span of less than a week, Gov. Charlie Baker said Wednesday afternoon that the country would be well served to replicate the tight rules in Massachusetts. “I...

I m talking about China and US as a country, not your city or your neighborhood, US is a very inefficient country, your roads, your airports , your subways stay the same for decades after decades, not a single major issue can be fixed, American people don't have any power to changed anything in US and US politicians are habitual liars, they don't care about what people think and feel at all.

You asked about people being able to change things in the US like gun violence/racism and I replied in the affirmative..showing you how...so now that you see that it happens...you don't like my answer. LOL!!

Plus some of it is not even controllable by the Government. Do they make a proclamation that everybody should stop being a racist or else go to jail?

I hope you guys can stop your government from waging wars around the world, various polls also suggest that most Americans don't want wars, but can you stop US global wars? This is what I originally asked.

I don't think Taiwan is planning on attacking China so not sure why you are worried about the US starting a war.

I wasn't talking about Taiwan, I m asking if American people have the power to stop any wars waged by US government.
