Richard, the commander of the United States Strategic Command (Stratcom), has warned that the war in Ukraine isn't the largest conflict that the U.S. will see right now—it must be prepared for a global conflict involving China."This Ukraine crisis that we're in right now, this is just the warmup," Richard said during a speech at the Naval Submarine League 2022 Annual Symposium and Industry Update.It is sinking slowly, but it is sinking, as fundamentally they are putting capability in the field faster than we are," Richard said.In his first public message to U.S. President Joe Biden since he extended his rule over the Communist Party, Xi indicated the two countries should return to a "sound and steady relationship.""China stands ready to work with the United States to find the right way to get along with each other in the new era on the basis of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation."
