> why is it inevitable? What do trade wars get us? Could have asked what do wars get us in the 1930s - and the answer would be: with the United Kingdom? Not much ... With Nazi Germany? Quite a bit ... Not saying china is Nazi Germany but if you ask the question in the abstract without context then it will never really have a consistent answer. My personal view is that the Chinese regime must fall. I would be in favour of dropping most immigration restrictions for any chinese citizens. If you cannot topple the regime you can remove it's people.

Most of the world, I think, went to war against the axis powers because they were attacked by axis powers, so the question is "what did Germany and Japan think they could get out of starting this war?" and the best answer I can come up with is Norman Ohler's book on it; I mean, I can see why the allied countries decided they needed to throw all they had into the fight... I just don't see how Germany could have actually done the math sober and thought they could win a war against... almost the rest of the world.
