David Archibald, American Thinker: Why China Will Lose the War It is Planning
How do we know the war is coming in the first place? Because the advertising for it is out. Amongst plenty of other evidence, one Chinese front organisation conducted a poll on Australian attitudes to the ANZUS treaty and a Chinese attack on Japan. Why would they conduct such a poll unless they are going to attack Japan? Not that they were interested in the results as such. They just wanted to be able to publicize the poll in order to try to keep Australia on the sidelines of their war.
The war will have two functions for China. Firstly, it will provide legitimacy for the regime as economic growth stalls. Secondly, the Chinese will have pride in humiliating their neighbouring countries, and the United States, by defeating them in battle and creating no-go zones in the oceans which other countries won’t be able to enter without Chinese permission. The war will have nothing to do with oil and gas resources under the seabed and securing sea-lanes. The Chinese have never offered those excuses for their behavior themselves. The excuses are the creation of Western pundits for something that otherwise is stupid, destructive, and primitive.
WNU Editor: I disagree with this article's premise and its explanation of what may happen in a China war .... but I do like the last paragraph ....
.... if you don’t like the idea of the US being involved in a war with China? Well stop buying anything made in China.
Update: There is some truth to this article .... the opening salvo in China's next major conflict is likely to take place in cyberspace .... Revealed: The New Battleground in China's Future Wars (Michael Raska, National Interest).

WNU Editor,
Neither China, Russia or the US can "lose" a war against each other, nor can they "win".
Cold War history shows that 22 hours is how long the world will live if any of these Nations go face to face and full on.
But, unless you can write lots and lots of papers, strategies and op ed pieces theorizing how such an impossible, unreal war could be won,
There is no need for the F-35, etc.
And as American theorists struggle to confront the US economic, military and influential decline, they cling to the two remaining arrows in the US quiver, War and Securitized SubPrime Used Car Loans sold as 22% Guarenteed Moody Rated AAA Bonds, their two weapons of mass destruction.
When China "moves" on Japan, it will be by taking a Majority Stake in Toyota, Yahoo Japan and prime Tokyo real estate.
