So what are the chances of a full scale conflict? In my opinion, the chances of peace are bigger than the chances of conflict because a conflict here is neither in the interest of the United States, which will have to deploy its military and risk the lives of its soldiers, nor China, because the US is the biggest trading partner of China.
But then the question becomes why did this actually happen? Why did China carry out these exercises? And why was the U.S. looking at the Chinese tactics. In international geopolitics? Posturing like this is done for two reasons. One, to suss out the adversary of how prepared they are. And two, to increase the military capabilities, because mostly in the last 60, 70, 80 years, most militaries in the world have not seen significant conflict compared to what happened during the Second World War.
