Nah, none would really benefit from it. It could be a way for China to show their power though. But going to war would hurt their trading with the rest of the (western) world.

What would China gain from that? War would mean factories closing down and food prices hiking like crazy. The whole system would be destabilized and the current Chinese elite would risk being lynched. Obviously they do not really want a war. It is a common populistic move to make the people scared and support their government.
Obviously, China would win in terms of manufacturing, but could they really hold their country together with all of these minority groups? I don't think so.

Wars in 21st century are not fought with canons, but happen silently, like sending the whole country stash of GM seeds with modified DNA, that can make the whole new generation unfit to do anything in life.

LOL, you ain't going to go all showmanship before you start a war with your equal, it's not like U.S striking Iraq, or even China's invasion of Vietnam, China knows what it's facing and if she really wants to attack Japan, she will do so quietly, do you really talk or brag about how will you punch someone before you really punch him? No way.

china reminds me of the geeky guy in high school who never got the girl. as he got older, he blossomed into a swan and then got supercocky with his newfound popularity. seems like china has been pushing around a lot of east asian countries, and even south asian (indians). they pretty much have beef with everyone, because they are hungry to be the new United States of America.

A war would only be profitable if there is a giant amount of oil under the sea.

The chinese government has been allowing or covertly promoting increasingly rabid anti-japanese rhetoric for a couple of years now (Including giant banners at factories that say things like "all japanese must die" and so forth.

It seems likely that they are planning a short brutal war and looking for some pretext to go to war over.

Is it for real this time? Will China go to war with Japan (and possibly the US)?
