US did not ‘challenge’ China to go to war

US did not ‘challenge’ China to go to war

There is no news of the US Congress passing a new resolution to declare war or address any hostility against China as of August 2022

Claim: In August 2022, the United States challenged China to go to war.

Rating: FALSE

The bottom line: There are no reports or announcements that support or prove this. The US Constitution grants the House of Representatives or Congress the sole power to declare war through a joint resolution. 

Historically, the US has declared war 11 times in its history, with the last formal declaration occurring in 1942, during World War II.
