China is not gonna start a war with the US. China is going to do whatever it pleases and they have 0 to gain from a war with the US. Plenty of resources elsewhere.
Taiwan is the issue. It's not about raw natural resources.
I know, and they will do as they please and invade Taiwan. They will consider the response of US and Taiwans allies of course, but having a war with the US isn't the goal. The reason I mention resources is that starting a war with US will never be their goal, because there is literally nothing on US soil that can't be found elsewhere (where the local army is even less of a threat).
