Bar an absolute disaster, China isn't going to war. Forget the obvious military buildup for a second;
Long game??? They used up all there oil reserves. United stares waiting for russia, china, and middle east to start drilling on federak lands. Remember who built this world. United states will remain super power for long time.The Chinese are playing the long game. They're aware of the mistakes of the last major military engagement in the Pacific; like for instance the Japanese simply could not match or exceed the industrial output of the Americans & mistakenly thought they could knock out the Americans' will to fight by pre-emptively attacking Pearl Harbour.
The Chinese won't repeat the same mistakes made by the Japanese and will only go to war when they're militarily ready for a protracted war.
China is very weak
