What makes you think the decision to go to war is rational?
If it were “we” wouldn’t be Hell bent to bomb Syria.

So China has spent the last 30 years building up their economy, an economy that relies heavily on the US, Japan, South Korea, etc. just so they can piss it all away?
China is at war with us, an economic war. Every major defense or aerospace contract they win is another battle they've won. This is a war that they are in for the long haul. And don't think Americans are ignoring it - even the Boeing CEO said a few years ago after a partnership was announced with a Chinese company, that it wouldn't be too long before Boeing found themselves competing against the very people they were partnering up with.
They have given themselves the ability to do more financial damage to our country in a week than they could ever do in an actual military conflict.
The problem is that if China wants to exercise that power, either economically or militarily, they destroy their own country.
It's more akin to the MAD doctrine that dominated the Cold War.
