Will World War III be between the U.S. and China? LOL

The USA and China will never start a World War III. The USA leaders and China leaders know that that the USA and China can both prosper in future if they don't mutually destruct each other in a unlikely British newspaper scenario of mutual armageddon. The British newspapers are still pissed that Hong Kong is doing better now economically compared to when the Brits ruled Hong Kong, Cheers FrankC

She responded: ‘Maybe, but when they are on top I don’t think they will be very kind.’ I fear that she is right. It seems hard to overstate the ruthlessness with which China is pursuing its purposes at home and abroad.

What I fear is the time when, not if, we see the Chinese economy take a hard landing. This will be the time to watch out for a military coup in the Chinese Gov't, if only through control of the communist party apparatus.

I'm not sure that the current business oriented leaders could handle the shame that would come from such a downturn. So I believe the military would step in an pressure the govt to engage in expansionist activities under the belief we're too occupied with our own economic problems to risk intervening.

I would say that's the mother of all miscalculations... Ask the ghost of Isoroku Yamamoto... Something about not waking "Sleeping Dragons"..

And they will waken the minor dragons of Japan, Korea, and the Phillipines, all of which fear Chinese domination.
