Except the argument here is that China will get Russia to launch an attack in Europe to force the West into essentially a two front war. However you can avoid this by hurting Russia so hard now that they simply won't have the ability to. This is independent of what the USN might have.This may seem to hold true, however, as mentioned several times before in this thread, the USN held back on it's "draw down" munitions (like their ATACAMS or example) in anticipation of a conflict in the Pacific.
So there is most certainly situational awareness.

Stopping only for a nice, (terminally) relaxing cup of polonium tea....He probably shot himself to avoid falling up several flights of stairs and out a window.
Probably, future historians will discuss the dilemma of China in a similar manner to the "northern strategy" and "southern strategy" considered by Japan in the early 1940s.I don't agree with the unspoken premise that China is a Svengali that can pull Russian strings to make them go to war. Russia is in no state to further invade Europe, and won't be for quite some time.
If China wants its two-front war, the time to move is now, but I don't believe they're quite ready -- especially since they're contemplating a 100-mile amphibious operation. In fact, the other day I read an opinion piece arguing that it might be more likely that China would move to retake territory it lost to Russia in the 19th century. I'm not so sure of that, either.
