China will destroy California?

This is my synopsis of an article published in the Chinese
newspaper Global Times. It is clearly addressed to the
American or Chinese public. In any case, the communists
threaten the United States with an all-out war and the
destruction of California. On Wednesday, September 4, 2021,
the US destroyer Benfold entered the waters of the South
China Sea near Meiji Reef (Mischief Reef) without the
sanction of the communist regime. The communists used aircraft
and ships to drive the ship out of these waters. The US Navy
7th Fleet news summary says the Benfold sailed within a
12-mile radius of Meiji Reef, the warship defended the rights
and freedom of navigation. The report says that the Meiji Reef
"is not in the territorial sea according to international law" and
that "the work of filling land, constructing facilities and
buildings on the reef does not change this characteristic
according to international law." The actions of the United States
are an undisguised provocation, the communists believe. There
are Chinese facilities on the Meiji Reef, people live there, and
therefore the passage of an American warship in such proximity
poses a threat. In response, the Communist Party promises
to retaliate.
The communists believe that the policy of escalating tensions
in the South China Sea with the participation of Vietnam and
the Philippines has failed. Because of what the United States
went into a rage and sent a battleship. The newspaper accuses
the United States of imperialism and predicts that the
Communist Party has become stronger. And the quote: 
"The risk is constantly growing that US provocations will cause
clashes at sea between China and America." The communists
threaten to send warships to American military bases in the
Asia-Pacific region, as well as the coastline of the United States
(California) to conduct short-range reconnaissance and assert
freedom of communist navigation. The publication reports that
the rapid creation of an ocean-going navy in China has given the
country new opportunities. Only by forcing the United States to
swallow its own pill will the Communists be able to hurt
America and its allies and change the opinion of the Western
world. Therefore, the communist army will use more decisive
measures against the United States. The Communists believe
that an incident will soon occur that will not have a peaceful
outcome. When the situation will gets out of hand and triggers
a military clash between China and the United States, we must
take full advantage of our field. When the war breaks out, China
will certainly win. Concludes the author of the article.
These events became possible due to the flight of the United
States from Afghanistan, believes the Russian dissident Andrei
Piontkovsky. And if the United States betrays Ukraine and
Belarus, this will be a signal for China to occupy Taiwan. Which
will show the whole world that in fact the whole West is a
cardboard tiger. And he is not to be feared. Therefore, the
communists and dictators can do whatever they want.
