Meh, nothing will happen, like always, China couldn't survive doing something to get in the United States bad graces.
After reading through this thread, I must say that spell-checker is a wonderful thing.
OT: The US is bound by Treaty to be Japan's ally. Period. With that said, I doubt the US and China would go to war over this without pursuing all other options, be they diplomatic, covert, etc.
Its simple; we kill the batman.
The only constant is change.
Hate stuff like this, you'd think people in charge would be careful over stuff like this. It would be so awesome if the people rised up against the chinese government and owned the fuck out of them. They already own a shit load of land, and they're pushing on shit like this? Greedy pricks.
