There will be plenty of agressive posturing on both sides in the years to come but all out war is highly unlikely, barring some sort of resources disaster ie: peak oil. USA and China and both smart enough to know they stand to lose much more through a war than what they will gain.

Why would China want war when they can strategically buy their competition?

Needs less us involved

considering Australia is really a maritime nation with out a Merchant Navy or a Navy that can keep it supply lanes open...the coming conflict for control of South China sea between USA and China , could have devastating effect on Australia, and Australia way of life

you all should get down on you knees and (pay) that the US wins

And then of course we have the Russian versus everyone question?

And what does this mean for Australia?
