The moment the US ever feels it holds and can bring undeniable military superiority over China in China's frontyard, it will bring itself into a kinetic war with China. It's already created the psychological justifications and the hatred is properly brewed. It won't go to war unless it's convinced that it has a sure thing.
As Mark says in Peep Show, "You don't just declare war, Jeremy. You prime the press, you square things with the UN, you make up your reasons." Well they've already done enough of that (but no doubt will continue to do so) and they're only waiting for the technological superiority that makes a war a sure win. If what NEMESIS is capable of doing with any decent reliability, it's something PLAN and PLARF needs to quickly overcome and counter unless they don't mind fighting off a US invasion.
