What wars did the Chinese start in modern history?
More likely that China may enter a prolonged civil war. Basically, developing an internal consumer market will require political reforms. Right now, China is the worlds low cost labor factory and for a consumer market to develop there they will end up with a very economically divided society.
Posturing against China's inclusion in the TPP agreements is a mistake -- whether or not the TPP is enacted is immaterial to the hostility toward US and Asian relations with China. Kicking the biggest homie in the ass is not going to benefit trade or political relations
