“If there is a conflict China will most certainly begin in North Korea forcing the US into two front war on top of a relatively long supply chain in the South China Sea, vulnerable to China’s attack submarines.”

And how will China deal with 10 million Indians attacking their southern flank while Russia pours in tank battalions from the north and Japan sinks the entire chicomm navy ?

The reduction in world trade will slow down their conquest plans. Trump sees that, but the rest of the world is ignoring it.

The South China Morning Post is constantly pushing this false war meme.

This isn't 80 years ago. China has the same problem the old Soviet Union had-restless minorities and a generation that has become enamored of Western style materialist freedoms. What I mean is an ownership class. Computers, cars, nice clothes, education and travel in the West and America. I don't see that generation having a zeal to die for the murdering butchers in the Central Committee.

What if both India and Russia sit it out, as they likely would?

This war game is just in the western pacific between the US an China - any other country coming in changes the scenario beyond any predictions.
