Australian professor predicts China-Japan war in 2013, US involvement to follow
Jan 22nd 2013, 00:41

Australian National University professor Hugh White, also a former Australian defense official, believes that the recent violation of Japanese airspace by Chinese planes and Japan's election of a new, nationalist-leaning prime minister are sure signs that the two Asian superpowers are heading to war within the next year. In an opinion piece for the Sydney Morning Herald, White writes that the tensions developing now between the two countries are the among the conditions that have led to war many times in history, even when conflict is in no one's interest.

Referring to Japan and China's worst dispute over the mutually claimed Senkaku / Diaoyu Islands, White says that escalating stand offs over something that is overall worthless is usually how wars are started. He adds that without a doubt he United States would be dragged into the conflict to support Japan, and there's no guarantee the war would be short or simple. The professor defends his point against the idea that such an outcome – the world's three richest countries, two with nuclear weapons, going to war in this day and age – by pointing out that one should not confuse what wars are started over with what causes them.
