Jack Ma says the darnest things. What is happening now is the (almost) same thing that happened as a prelude to Opium War(s). China want people to buy their stuff, but the other way around only through tight control from China. That's not how trade works. Of course, opium war had such a perverse blowback from the English via India that it's not possible in this day and age, but who knows. One thing is sure, something is going to happen. My bet is on (slight) collapse of economy from within China and then opening up their economy a bit more towards everyone else. This will happen after the currency war. I don't see any actual combat conflict happening. But, who knows.
