Pressure on the Chinese means their slow-growing middle class will grind to a halt, and will go in the other direction. These economic problems will lead to civil unrest, and possibly instability in the government itself. Its hard to keep a lid on 1.5 billion people, and it'll only get harder once their cash cow, the US, decides to pursue other options in the Far East, through the TPP.

The fact of the matter is, when it comes to being a nation of our size, its either us or them. Its fucked up, but its the truth.

I think you're looking at this a bit too cynically. You forget that those are real living people in that country that would be screwed by this. Millions of hard working humans possibly getting their families and livelihoods shit on by a useless piece of legislation. And there's no evidence that China would go to war with the US. We would demolish them.
