    China is dominating the Pacific Rim and many countries on the African continent, they are essentially repeating what the US did itself after WW2. There are huge potential markets for Chinese goods outside of the West. In addition, it is becoming more belligerent and vocal in its demands and is totally unconcerned about propping up evil regimes like North Korea, Burma and Zimbabwe in a home grown version of the Monroe Doctrine. It justifies this behaviour by saying that they are only repeating what the West did themselves to establish empires in the past. I should also point out that the US is becoming more dependent on China rather than the other way round.

    You might want to capitalize "us" so we know you mean the US instead of the word "us". I bet you're a college grad.....Communications. Right?

    A hiccup in otherwise somewhat warm relations.

Currently the Philippines, China and Vietnam have all got claims on the islands but China is acting like a big bully in the playground.

    Not going to happen. WWIII will be, if anything, an economic war. Not militaristic. China lacks the ability to put sufficient forces on US soil to win. The US obviously doesn't even HAVE the man power to do so.

    If China expands, Russia and SE Asia are potential takeovers. I don't see the US as having the stomach to fight another WW for countries we really don't care about.

    Russia is not a viable target.

    I actually think it will be a combination of economic, cyber and conventional warfare. The Chinese have been instrumental in making cyber attacks all over the world and now Huawei are selling routers, switches and telecoms equipment to the West it will be even easier.
