US B-52 Bombers Fly Through Chinese Threat Zone

It seems we're going to see just how crazy China is. Will they fire on US military planes over international waters? The last time this happened, in Libya, US bombers blew up Kadaffi's brother and his family. It was an assassination attempt, and a message. And the plot of a blockbuster movie with Tom Cruise. And a popular flight simulator game called F-15 Strike Eagle. I had that game. It was fun.

All the Chinese nationals I've worked with over the years are hard working, self interested, and always looking to make a buck. Not always honestly, but they want to get paid. They never do volunteer work. Ever. Their time is too valuable, and their families are their priority. Loyalty to anyone else is ridiculous. So if there's an action and a threat, there has to be a personal financial advantage to either the guy making the threat and the people backing him, or the People's Revolutionary Party of China. So where is the advantage to China by threatening international relations? It isn't obvious.

Will China back down? Is this a good excuse for my begged-for Trade Tariffs to cut off Chinese goods and kickstart the US economy through demand for those manufactured goods? Does China realize that war with the US, or even fear of war through an act of war like shooting down US aircraft would dump contracts with China and thus Chinese manufacturing workers into the streets in winter time... would that be good for China? No. Unless they want to show those disloyal manufacturing workers they better get back to slaving on the People's Cooperative Farms. And maybe that's their point. What do you think?
