How to avoid war with China? (lemmygrad.ml)

For those of us, unfortunately, in the imperial core, what steps should we take to stop a US war with China over Taiwan? I've honestly been pretty scared since the war in Ukraine started knowing that China is next. We must avoid this at all costs to save the thousands of Chinese lives that will be sacrificed by the west in their bid to reestablish a unipolar world.

While I'm not discounting the achievements of the anti-war movement in support of Vietnam, the war still waged on for years. The same with Iraq. What should be done differently?

The White Terror ended in 1987, and involved the genocide of the native peoples of Formosa.

It doesn't seem honest to refer to "public opinion" while ignoring the events that shaped that opinion.
