china wont go to war at this moment. they primary and first
launch weapon will be to over take the economy and slowing suppress
other small countries economically. they know if they enter the war
now, US and many other asean countries sure will tstart taking
sides.
that's why to bring down or scale down china's growth now is the
crucial time for big nations and small countries to take
action.
Why you had this impression that china won't go to war at this
moment? They have territory dispute currently with Japan,
Philippine, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei. Though chances of war with
Malaysia and Brunei is not high. The chances with
Japan/Philippine/Vietnam are still there, in the past china had
went to war due to territory dispute with both India/Vietnam. Plus,
even if China go into war, I don't think most Asean countries will
join in as it is not to the country interest. And how you suggest
to bring down or scale down china's growth. By not doing biz with
them, the country that try to do this will end up suffer instead,
so I dun think your suggestion work as every countries will still
take their national interest first.
