Quote by: righthand Does it remind you of the situation pre-WW2. That was a war for resources, Japan having none. It was know that Japan had two choices; knuckle under to an unfair but peaceful as-it-is-situation; or make a grab for what it needed.
Many months ago I posted the idea of US via THE REST, due to US foreign policy. With oil, it has now coming to pass. Stage two, read on...

Once being Japan's "teacher" (read : as China claims it created and developed fundation(s) for Japanese existance, culture, religion, ect.) to become its own "student's slave" (Japanese occupation, during WWII), now China is going to follow Japan's past ?
I do not think it is the case, despite that some issues seem to match it.
China with its population growing up, needs to provide its people with all the necessary goods, services, ect. China needs to make a progress in technological solutions, developements that would bring in an assurance China is fully recognized as the one of the top and/or leading states around the globe.
That is why China must develope a computting-based field. It requires additional energy consumption, technological brand-new solutions (or major modifications, at least). That takes time and money.
As of today, China has gathered all the fundamental components, in order to make a technological progress (at least). To complete the whole step forward, China would like to take over Taiwan. Assuming that it happens, then one of the major electronic developer, supplier (what Taiwan is today) is gone. An extremely significant blow to U.S. and Western electronics-related technologies, developements, markets, economy, ect.
Whether China is readying for that step (read: "acquire" Taiwan), we may guess, while this scenario does not appear to become reality today. However, "tomorrow" may change the "today"s reality, and we need to include that option in plans scheduled ahead of that time, espacially since appx. 1.25 million military personnel is not being upkept for "making pizza".

Russia has lost of its ("cold-war era") mighty power, in recent days.
Admministrative and economical matters trouble Russia, today. That reflects that state's political, military, economy - related issues. Russia is the state located on both continents : European and Asian, respectively. It must upkeep the balance between.
If Russia becomes (somehow) affiliated and/or associated (or even an ally) with China, you may be rested assured that NATO will re-extend its range of influence in Eastern Europe.
That would be a necessity, since China along with Russia may "resurect" the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact's copy in XXI century, by replacing names only. We can not exclude that option.
I do not think Russia would opt for an aliance with China, though. If "yes", WWIII realisticaly surfaces and China along with Russia are losers. Not only that, but some other states will get demand their lands back ( read : Japan, Finland, ect.) and they meet their demands, since the victorious party dictates all the conditions after a winning battle/war.
It seems that Russia plays some games with China. Russia would like to have Western and U.S. made technologies, goods, ect. while creating an image of being a supower-power, still.
Whether U.S. might be perceived as a "bully", that is a result of an angle an observer can view the whole situation under. U.S. wants to provide its people with all the necessary goods, in order exist and make a progress.
Unfortunatelly, there is not a substitute and/or a replacement as a solution for new energy source, while that energy is a driven source to a state's economy, finance, marketting, business enterprise, jobs, ect.
P.S.
Even the (whole) "Rest" can not destroy U.S.
It would destroy itself as well, since U.S. economy, market, finance, ect. is a part of that "Rest".
