War now would be pointless, but what will it look like in 100-200 years? The Chinese have a few thousand years of uninterrrupted history and think along generational time lines. They are in the first stage of Empire building, buying/stealing everything they can. After 50-75 years of this they may turn to small regional skirmishes and military bluffs against small fry countries to achieve their goals. Once they have established their hegemony they will have an opportunity to fully exercise their military might, or not.
I think the only thing that could stop this Juggernaut is internal collapse, a very real possibility in my mind.
