It is my personal belief that China does not want war with the USA... for now. They know they would lose, as they are still too weak to win a total victory over us. Twenty years from now, maybe. There may be minor skirmishes, but not war. China simply has too many internal and regional problems to resolve, as well as the need to build their naval and air forces. Plus they probably know the future battles with Islam are the ones they need to focus on, and they will need us to assist.

I think it’s inevitable.

China can’t be content with what it has. With all it’s land mass, it still has eyes on more.

Tiawan, Japan, either parts of their territories or more, they want the region to be their sole property.

If they ever get Taiwan and Japan, look out south of China and even into India.

That’s why you have to stand up to China. If it gets an inch, it will be inclined to compete for the planet.

Right now it’s busy occupying Eastern Russia. Eastern Russia has the same problem with the Chinese that we have with Mexican nationals.

Gee, no mention of the US Nuke arsenal of 1,500 on a hair trigger, and China’s 300 total?

A monumental strategic imbalance.

Of course they don’t want war with us. They would lose it resoundingly.

The Chinese are patient. They play the long game. They do not need war to advance their agenda.

China is destroying the USA's manufacturing base slowly but surely. They will win in the end without firing a shot. They will own the US.

They are about to destroy another industry, the US auto industry. There cars are starting to come into the US market now. God we are dumb.

“Thucydides’s Trap” = “brainless, distract academic clickbait”.

“socialism with Chinese characteristics.” = a fascist government founded on Western capital”.

The centralization of power is bound to lead to disaster. war is one avenue it could do so and the US is a likely target.
But they could change. The Western investors have made their profits and there’s plenty of dough for internal development. And for The One Road which can be a good international expansion.

However, China has made it clear numerous times that it really doesn’t want to go to war or have any serious friction with the United States.

Communist China's stated objective is by 2025 to be able to go to war with the United States and win . It has been and is aggressively and successfully pursuing the ability to do so.

It's well passed time to stop listening to what Communist China is saying and pay attention to what it is doing!

Without reading the entire article I have a few questions and points:
1. Why would China want to kill its economic golden goose (USA)?
2. China owns a number of lucrative businesses and land in the US, which would end.
3. American and other nations have many businesses and investments in China.
4. Look what they did when they regained possession of Hong Kong - nothing because they learned that capitalism works and they wanted the income.
5. China is allowing more and more private ownership.
6. Macau has been a raging success story. It has become the world’s most profitable gambling city, raking in more cash between a few of its casinos than the whole of the Vegas strip — all without descending into disorder and open sleaze. However, corruption and a slump in China's economy has pushed Macau into a huge downturn. The central government is cracking down on the corruption and economics turn around.

Even though China is expansionist, why would they want to fight a world war and lose everything they've built? Even when they get on par with the US nuclear abilities, they would still have to face India, France, England, not to mention Japan, South Korea, and possibly Taiwan going nuclear?. Even with the same capabilities of the US, I believe they would adopt a MAD position. As for Russia, they'd sit it out and pick up the pieces.

It's the crazy Muslims I worry about in Europe getting their hands on nukes once they get complete control of the nations committing suicide by immigration. But then, what do I know?
