There is no reason for CHina to provoke war and it won't happen unless its rightful place & rising stature is recognized by US and given its due room for practising influence in Asia. Policies such as Asian pivot won't help US. China is not 19th century germany and in time US will realize that just like how Russians realized that. It would be better for other small players dreaming of countering china also realizes that.
It is also time for china to realize that the practice of issuing threats to most of its neighbours is over.As is claiming just about every inch of land and sea it can lay its eyes on.
If it wants its place and room in the world order ,it can have it as first among equals of asian nations...china is great nation and can be accorded that respect.
But if it thinks it can achieve its 'rightful place' by bullying,sneak invasions and threats then containment policy will only be succesful as china's attitude will make it successful.
