Default Re: Will the USA allow to China to become more powerful

The thing is, there's not really anything that can be "done" about China. The preeminence of China is a demographic fact, and has been for centuries. Short of genocide, the only thing that can prevent it is the Chinese government, and they've stopped doing so. Given that, any kind of military action would only set China back a decade or so and make them justifiably hate us.

Far more likely than war is an effort to build an anti-China coalition (US, Japan, Taiwan, S.Korea(?), India, maybe Australia) to try to compel the Chinese to respect international norms.
