you're right it would be us vs them, but it would shift largely to back room actions with lots of prime time saber rattling. The US and Chinese economies are so tightly linked that it will be devastating even to the winner. Think of Assured Mutual Destruction for the new millenium.
In truth, I believe that we will eventually go toe to toe with China and lose. but that is years down the road. there will come a day where China is the focal point for the planet and they become far more important than the US. the US ego just can't fathom or accept that so there will be a long period of smiles and handshakes with our "partners" in the east, mixed with intermittent saber rattling. then some economic catalyst will meet an ignition source, probably taiwan and then it's on. war, baby. except this time the US will not come out on top. our day on top of the world is done and we will limp on for a few generations denying our fall from importance. like modern france.
or i might just need to adjust my tin foil hat.
