How the US Will Start the Great War with China - An Emerging Scenario

When confronted with people's predictions of war with China, I have often wondered how the government could possibly set it up and look legit. It seemed that each situation I thought of would look too much like economic fear and not be able to get the public support necessary to undertake such a conflict.
Well, I need search no further. The practice version has emerged. How will we justify our conflict with China? Africa. The practice version being Zimbabwe. The MSM version read like this: China is sending firearms and other armaments to the Zimbabwe, propping up a brutal, civil rights hating dictator. Not a good thing if true, but also not enough to start what essentially will amount to a world war - even if they were doing it in a number of African nations. So... what else? It is said that essentially out of pure greed, China is flooding Africa with super-cheap products (cheap via sweatshop production of course) and subsequently destroying Africa's developing infrastructure and continental economy by way of this unfair competition. I guess China is the reason Africa struggles economically now. As conditions in Africa continue to deteriorate, China will be pegged as the cause, as well as being unwilling to put an end to it and thus, in order to save the people of Africa (feel free to interpret that as "save black people, thus alleviating any reason for black Americans to cause anymore problems for the US government") we are going to have to stop the big bully China from taking their lunch money. Hmmm....
This just in: for that same reason, China will be blamed for our economic woes as well?

Anyway, time to sit back and watch this unfold before our eyes and when it's almost to late to do anything about it, the American people will leap to our feet and get another beer on a commercial break so we don't have to get up during the finale.

What the heck people? Do you agree that available evidence supports this? Or am I off my rocker? Do you see any other likely excuses for going to war with China that the American population would buy into? The silence is eerie. Did I fart or something?

I would question your logic of Zimbabwe being the cause or the justification for The US to start a war with China.

Look at the history of Zimbabwe. This is an ex-British colony and sometime member of The Commonwealth and if the US were looking for an excuse, why would they look further than Taiwan.

The US could manufacture an "incident" and use their allies in the UN to get some kind of resolution passed. Of course with China being a permanant member of the Security Council, no resolution could be passed but the US could get the moral hight ground.

And what would the US gain from a war with China? The US military is hard pressed to handle the requirements of operations in Iraq and Afganistan. A war with China would be on a very different scale and war with China may well might war with Russia.

I'm not saying Zim. will be the cause/justification for a war with China. I'm saying that Zimbabwe is a Model version of what they're trying to do with Africa in general. A trial run to see the reactions within Zimbabwe to various propaganda techniques and government actions. Additionally, they're observing the global reaction to the situation as a whole as it evolves. I'm no Taiwan expert, but I believe it has some deep infrastructure relationships with the US. I think as a site for wars, it's too big a player in world production to mess with. Iraq has shown how complex a seemingly simple war zone is. Taiwan is complex from the get go.
On the flip side, with Africa, you get to eliminate a whole mess of impoverished people who are nothing but a burden on your wealth, not to mention siting on a whole lot of natural resources in so far as minerals are concerned. As oil is dethroned, precious metals and other minerals are once again going to become the cash crop in the world (not exclusively of course, but your kids will thank you for investing now.
As for what to gain? The US is trembling in fear of China's emerging capitalist economy. The population i.e. number of consumers, is staggering. The population of the US is very roughly 350,000,000. Add 1 billion to that and you get the population of China (1,350,000,000) As their economy matures, they are going to command more and more influence over the global economy (our current position). The germans(+Italy&Japan) were the last guys who tried that move. You might be able to take jobs from our citizens, but no way are you taking our government's job - world domination is ours.
