Is trump out to start a war with China

Nahh. I don't think so. China is not keeping me up at night and we've already signed on the dotted line when it comes to Taiwan. We are obligated to keep our promise to Taiwan. Trump is not stupid. Personally, I like the guy. I think he'll be better than Reagan. China is very powerful and smart, but they are 'muscle bound', they don't have the strength to carry their own power. They have an army 50 times larger than the US, but they can't do a damn thing with it. China is the land of bullet trains and wooden plows. Xing Ping is an intelligent and reasonable man, although he winks at a few dirty tricks when it comes to trade, and 'industrial / technical espionage and theft. Not yet. Hell is coming, but not yet, and Trump isn't trying to get us into it with China. Trump only wants to see China 'play fair' when it comes to economic cooperation.
Destruction will come as soon as everyone starts cheering the prospect of peace.
