This actually is a show to India as well (China and India had a small war and still have disputed territories to battle over) to show that they are ready to fight them as well. China has a good relationship with Pakistan (better than India) so this war would likely give India pause before challenging China by force. http://www.firstpost.com/topic/place/south-china-sea-india-warns-china-we-will-use-force-to-protect-oil-interest-video-uASByFNefjo-83348-1.html If India is not careful they may find themselves fighting two dangerous opponents at the same time. A war with Japan would make sense as Japan is the USA best ally (followed by the Philippines which China is also in conflict) in the region. Defeating both American allies would hinder and limit American influence in the region and make the other asian countries more submissive to China. (tactics people c'mon ) http://betterphils.blogspot.com/2012/01/china-wants-to-takeover-us-military.html It is going to happen and happen soon. The USA is currently at it's lowest point economically and militarily; it makes sense for China to strike now while us Americans are still bogged down in the middle east. (sucks) I just hope we can somehow show some sort of force to deter them and stop them from attacking our allies!!!

Oh, come on. China is trading with the world and it's economy is based on that. And yes, Japan is an important customer. So, even if China wins a war with Japan, it's economy would take a serious hit. Also going into war with Japan basically means going into war with the US. That will not happen. You are right, America is on a low point economically (lowest would mean it can't go lower in the future, and I'm not so sure about that). But militarily the US is dominating everyone in the world. China is in no way able to fight with the US-force.

One thing to consider is...how far will the USA go in defending Japan in our current situation. It won't be WWIII, I never said it would. But I have serious doubts on the long term commitment the US has in defending Japan in our current situation. Besides China has multiple reasons to weaken American influence in Asia in order to be the leading Super Power in that area. One being is the unification of Taiwan, by force if need be. That's the reason for the formation of the eastern and southern sea fleets if you don't know.
