A relationship of convenience that could someday lead to war?

Right now the relationship between the militaries of the United States and China border between cooperation and competition. However this could ultimately end up in competition. According to a book that was released only to members of the Chinese government and military twenty years ago, there was a call for confrontation with the United States whenever it was necessary whether it was be of peaceful or militarily means.

It has been known for decades that China has made considerable investments in many foreign countries and in some cases has considerable influence in those nations. Their presence overseas, in particular Iran by helping with the Iranian nuclear program is of great concern. Could China be sending mixed signals? A strong case could be made there.  One could argue that with the help of China, Iran could have nuclear weapons that will then be used against the United States and Israel. Should the damage and carnage that the USA is so extensive that China then decides to invade Taiwan and reclaims it as the territory of the People's Republic of China with little to no resistance.

In another scenario China has been rumored to help North Korea with their nuclear program. Imagine a scenario where North Korea, Iran or both nations decide to attack the United States in a nuclear manner. After the first phase of the plan, China retakes Taiwan as mentioned earlier. Then there is potential for China to go to war with Russia. What would 200 million dead Chinese soldiers mean to China if they are able to annex Russian territory along the way? Well with Vladimir Putin's ambition to return Russia to its days as the Soviet Union there could be quite a battle between the two nations and I mean quite a battle. Hopefully none of this will ever come to pass.
