I would very much welcome such development to confront this reality that China's rise will not be peaceful and that it's desire of peaceful coexistence rest on the condition and supposition that it must allow itself to be cannibalized by western parasites.
I detest war, conflict, mayhem, and destruction wherever it occurs, but I am of the belief that America and Americans writ large have been so accustomed to the war and destruction happening far away from its shores ergo, they're incapable of finding a sense of introspection and appreciation for what a truly devastating war can do to a country.
If China were to engage in a kinetic conflict with the U.S. it must be prepared to bring the battle to its enemies doorstep and permanently neuter the entire west's ability to wage war for a century with a human and physical devastation reminiscent of Stalingrad, Moscow, Shanghai, Hamburg, Manila, Tokyo circa WWII. With casualties in the tens of millions. There's no point of fighting a war and wasting people's precious lives if the end result is a stalement, a ceasefire, or worse, an armistice. To borrow a quote from an American blowhard General Douglas MacArthur's dictum: There can be no substitute for Victory.
