China's whole navy is still, not by a long shot, a match for the part of the US navy they have in the Pacific Ocean. And even then, I don't think it will ever happen unless we get a total war scenario. To much to lose, and what's to gain? I think the Chinese leadership is more content with just spouting their "one China" rethoric in front of their own people.

As for western democracies, I think it's pretty feasonable that Turkey and Greece will cross swords somewhere in the future. They get reasonably well along today but they've had a pretty tense relationship the last century, so it's not unthinkable especially if Turkey decides to push the Cyprus issue again.
