You asked.
Several flashpoints. The two obvious ones are the East China Sea (Senkaku Islands) and the South China Sea (Paracels/Spratleys). Japan pushed back a bit on the Senkaku gambit so that one might be on the back burner for now.
The South China Sea conflict can become much hotter. The prize is much bigger and the enemies are much weaker.
When will it happen? Probably when the leadership decides that a war is needed to distract people from the fact that their lives are getting worse.
