The Henry Jackson Society held a virtual forum discussing the need for Europe and America to build a 'Trans-Atlantic consortium' to win a war against China. They argue that China is winning by using their Belt and Road Initiative, Health Silk Road, and superior technology to infiltrate Western nations and destroy the Western liberal system. President Trump partially submitted to this narrative by suggesting that if China was knowingly responsible for the pandemic, there should be consequences. Military-linked blogs have also been discussing the possibility of war with China.
