They are getting very aggressive to their neighbors. Even Japan has upped its navy recently. They successfully sowed chaos in the west. There will be a very messy, ugly election in the fall to distract the US. They think the US would be too afraid to go back to Vietnam.

I don't know about Vietnam, but I think you're on to something with China.

They're sitting on a lot of US-American debt. That's the card i'd have played if i had something to decide in China.

I can see no need for them to lose face in starting a war.

    The point on this is: They already got you. It is a resource war and they are better at fighting it, obviously.
