Re << fredoneverything.org hillary-trump-and-war-with-russia-the-goddamdest-stupid-idea-i-have-ever-heard-and-i-have-lived-in-washington/>> again, and
no, i do not believe there would be major war in the south china sea, and soon, for the rest of the pacific ocean, such be unsung benefits of levelling the playing field, anti-access / area denial, peaceful rise protocol
specifically
"The same danger exists incidentally with regard to a war with China in the South China Sea. The American Navy hasn’t fought a war in seventy years. It doesn’t know how well its armament works. The Chinese, who are not fools, have invested in weaponry specifically designed to defeat carrier battle groups. A carrier in smoking ruins would force Washington to start a wider war to save face, with unpredictable results. Can you name one American, other than the elites, who has anything to gain from war with China?"
(1) the america navy was offered an opportunity to do battle in 2013 but declined, apparently preferring to go home edition.cnn.com "A U.S. Navy guided missile cruiser took evasive action to avoid colliding with a Chinese warship in the South China Sea in what sources called a highly unusual and deliberate act by China, CNN has learned."
since that time, and after complaining much about alleged non-transparency of the china military, the playing arena is progressively less opaque
(2) The pilot project to grid-mark the ocean is underway per infrastructure build-out choreography

note the convenient english language system :0)
"CSSC says that, among other things, its objective is to provide customers with "a package solution in terms of underwater environment monitoring and collection, real-time location, tracing of surface and underwater targets, warning of seaquakes, tsunamis, and other disasters as well as marine scientific research"."
(3) presumably once the above system is placed firstly in the south china sea, there is no particular reason why the grid-ing should not be extended as there a seaquakes and tsunamis all over the oceanscape
and once so, the precision of the two of a kind DF-21D and DF-26 anti-ship ballistic missiles would be more transparent still. please note that team china confirms that the two singular DF machines are purely defensive in nature, as they reach no further than guam, and is well away from hawaii, even as the war heads are good for thames in london.

note how the transparency is appreciated ;0)
(4) grid-ing and able to "battle ship" surface naval combatants is not enough, and must be supplemented by a variety of autonomous, loitering, swarming sentinels, at yuan on the dollar, or fen on the cents

and even underwater gliders scmp.com "At the moment, the cost of an underwater glider was about 100 million yuan (HK$116 million) on the international market, but Yu said he expected the price would drop sharply once mass production started.
With improved technology, the vessel would also be able to carry a greater variety of sensors – perhaps even weapons with the capability of damaging or destroying a military target.
“An underwater glider comes with a structure that is much less sophisticated than that of a car,” Yu said.
“A small car in China can be sold for only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. I think the glider won’t be more expensive than that if the annual production runs to hundreds of thousands,” he said."
(5) then of course, the underwater glider is best paired w/ one in near-space, that which can reach other side of the planet w/i 30 min for active defence
