China desires to control the waters around their mainland. Lines drawn halfway between the Chinese main and their nearest neighbors will not satisfy them after 100 Years of Humiliation.

We can imagine what would be if only the East India Trading Company had not pushed opium on the Chinese, but they did.

I am worried this is lef to the US to clean up, much like Vietnam was left to the US to clean up after the French Foreign Legion recruited the worst of Hitler's SS after WW2 to pacify French Indo-China.

I lost an uncle in the Vietnam war, but I am concerned a conflaguration with China will be closer in scale and casualties to WW2 where one branch of my family lost 11 of 13 sons, including some famous heroes.
