There are no land border disputes, only sea-based disputes. So no chance for ground war, any conflict will be a Naval conflict, backed up with Air force and missile inventories.
Agreed, by why should China wish for this? Won't China eventually have to face the same area denial weapons that it has developed against the US Navy?
We don't wish for war. Our policy is "China's peaceful rise".
Correct, both of you. China , currently, does not want to engage anyone militarily now. They are at the cusp of a modernization process and building up their blue water naval capability, enhancing their army units (even reducing their numbers for more qualitative material), as well as building up their air force.
I have been to China many times in my life and been there recently this January (was in Hong Kong for a week vay cay..! )
I know how Chinese people and they are not pro-war , they are too busy in professional development. Like any modernizing and developing country. Okay! I mean, people in this thread are a bit radical (just a bit), and they don't represent the overall population. There are over 130,000 Japanese living and working in China as well as some 700,000 Chinese living and working in Japan. Millions more who have both Japanese and Chinese ancestry. China is too busy developing itself ... and war will only affect business opportunities in their country, and a leap backwards for them.

Exactly, our main goal is to become a developed country.
Getting into a war would hurt our economic development.
And who wants a war anyway? Why should people die, when they could be living and contributing to the nation?
My point is that you are obviously a level-headed person, and maybe can see why the "peaceful rise" mantra isn't quite as convincing it was 24 months ago or so.
"China's peaceful rise" is our official policy. Others may not believe it (which is somewhat understandable), but that's our goal. And since there have been no wars, it had been successful so far at least.
We are the ones gaining the most from the status quo, by far. We are adding a trillion dollars to our economy every single year. So it makes no sense for us to rock the boat.
Chinese leaders can be criticized for a lot of things, but I do not believe they are stupid, they won't derail our development process (and thus their own legitimacy) for such a silly reason.
I agree it would not make sense, and obviously that they are not stupid. But "rocking the boat" seems to be going on, on a weekly basis. There are some things you cannot always predict with 100% accuracy, and recent actions have left the door open for misunderstandings or accidental shooting.
The current news are getting boring. I hope to see Vietnam vs China soon.
China has become somewhat uncharacteristic since the US announced its "pivot". Usually they seemed very measured, very calculated, and in no hurry to make a mistake. It seems they were caught off-guard by the move, thinking that America would be bogged down in the Middle East for decades to come.
The multiple claims to disputed territory, the unilateral ADZ, and the aggressive behavior towards its neighbors, and the neo-nationalist sentiment just doesn't feel like the "Art of War" China that has more experience with war than the US has been a country.
As of now China is squeezing Vietnam like a ball, and it's only a matter of time before the ball bounces. Vietnam can either bounce back and hit China in the face, or bounce off to other players, namely the US leading team.But there will be no war.

Sure there will be no war, just skirmish all over again just like the border conflict between VN and China before the land treaty. The DOC may put an end to this tension.
the Burma road and Flying tigers are well known stories in china, u should ask ur government why keep demonizing china for 50 year, and CNN bullshit.Do the young Chinese even realize why there are US troops in Japan? Do they know about the Burma road? Or the Flying Tigers?
Or how China would help US airmen who bombed Japan, but didn't have enough fuel to return so had to crash-land in China? Yes we have had low points in the relationship, but I find the anti-US rhetoric by some quite puzzling.
Viet Nam's policy regarding this disputed water of the Paracels and Spratly is not to engage in any kind of negotiation/joint development of resources in both areas unless China agrees to return to the pre-1974 border ie returning the Western part of the Paracels to Viet Nam (China can keep the Eastern part of the Paracels). If China is willing to return just one island over a successive time frame like one per several decades; Viet Nam would have been more than happy to engage in dialogue to exploit the resources between the overlapping EEZ claims with China. However, China has ZERO intention to return the western part of the Paracels to Viet Nam, we have no choice. Simply put, China does not play ball.Why don't you share profits with VietNam? That might improve relations.
Chinese national pride does not allow them to take any steps back when dealing with inferior nations, namely Vietnam and Phillipine. Especially Vietnam, because many Chinese think that thanks to only China helps Vietnam could win the war against the US and Vietnam should be forever in debt to China.Viet Nam's policy regarding this disputed water of the Paracels and Spratly is not to engage in any kind of negotiation/joint development of resources in both areas unless China agrees to return to the pre-1974 border ie returning the Western part of the Paracels to Viet Nam (China can keep the Eastern part of the Paracels).
