China has always had the goal of ruling all of Asia,and it looks like their dream will come true.
BTW,China would attack US bases in Asia if ships and aircraft from those bases attacked Chinese military targets,but I doubt they would unless provoked.
After all,China is now a business partner of the US,and going to war with the US would hurt them more than help them because they would lose access to all the western money coming into China from the manufacture and sale of American items made in China and shipped to the US.
I have no doubt that China has plans to attack eastern Russia once Russia is too "beat down" by Ukraine to mount any type of effective defense. Russia will be broke,and most likely be willing to sell mineral and oil rights in Eastern Russia to China in exchange for enough money to keep the Communists in power in Russia.
Pretty much everything we buy nowadays is made in China in factories assembled by American Corporations who have deals to buy the items they will be manufacturing.
Hell,it's hard to even buy fingernail clippers these days that don't fall apart the first time you try to use them. The Chinese were allowed to "Dump" junk merchandise on the US market that was so cheap it put the traditional western manufacturers out of business. Damn hard to compete with slave labor when you pay union wage rates.
AND......,once China becomes the ONLY source for things like GM automatic transmissions to hot dogs (Gwaltney meat packing plants in China now),they will be able to dictate to us about what nations we can oppose and what nations we have to leave alone (China).
