Chinese President Says Conflict With U.S. Would Be Disaster -- Bloomberg
China’s President Xi Jinping called for greater military communication with the U.S., saying as he opened high-level talks between the two countries that any conflict would be a global disaster.
China needs a stable environment “more than ever,” and it’s inevitable that the two sides will have some disputes, Xi said at the Diaoyutai guest house before the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing.
“A conflict between China and United States will definitely be a disaster for the two countries and the world,” Xi said. “As long as we uphold mutual respect, maintain strategic patience and remain unperturbed by individual incidents and comments, we’ll be able to keep relations on a firm footing despite ups and downs that may come our way.”

How bad is the tension betwen China and US?
There are differences between the two countries .... but not to the point of being hostile.
I get being prepared for confrontation but we keep hearing about carrier sinking missiles and stealth fighters and it just seems to me like we are going down a bad road. It's like if my neighbor bugs me so I hold a drill in my back yard where I practice knifing an effigy of him, then I put set guns in my windows facing his house. So he sets up a crate of molatov cocktails just on his side of the fence with my name on it so I send my kids outside with shotguns to pace back and forth on the sidewalk in front of his house and all the while I send my girls over to sell him girl scout cookies and he sends his kids over to sell me wrapping paper but every once in a while I remind him of how I could burn his house down, and some times I catch him wire tapping my phone line and looking through my windows with binoculars. Yeah, we will have great relations. I don't know what the answer is but this posturing and then reassuring just seems like a good path to inevitable confrontation. Obviously I'm no great political leader with all the answers but this just doesn't make sense to me. Smile one day, sight the rifle in on his house another day.
Ropestuff .... that is when I hope that out children go down a different path. In short .... keep things defused and hope that tomorrow's generation will behave better. (emphasize the word 'hope').
Here's to hoping. Cheers.
