#1 Ship for ship, China may not equal America -- it certainly doesn't have as many aircraft carriers -- but its submarines and long-range missiles could easily cause the U.S Pacific Fleet some serious damage.

However, if your economy is predicated upon international trade and critical imports, you can't simply just cause 'serious damage'. You have to establish supremacy upon your sea routes. Otherwise you get economically choked to death.

#3 As a matter of History, A WAR(S) BETWEEN AN ESTABLISHED POWER + AN UP-N-COMER OCCURS MORE THAN NOT - it would be more surprising iff a
War(s) didn't occur than iff it did.

That being said, its the duty of Political-Govt Leaders to protect Society from harm, which includes the avoidance of destructive War(S) AMAP.
