China will be keen to keep the peace until their economy outpaces the USA, they will want to gradually keep outgrowing it, it is highly probable that the US is eager for war before that time comes, they are already setting up the pieces, they will use any viable excuse.

Japan is a vassal of America, they are rebuilding their army, this is the first time since the end of ww2 that they are even allowed anything.

South Korea joint exercises and close military ties and cooperation, sharing of resources, deployment of radar stations and other military infrastructure on the peninsula.

These two are to keep china in check, particularly focusing on the south china sea so that the US can strangle their economy at will.

A large portion of the fleet was sent to train with the Australians under some bs guise of 'military exercises', these 'exercises are deployments.

The US has failed to topple the Russian satelite state of Syria with their proxy terrorist armies supplied by the Iraqi army and the Saudi's.
The Saudi's are rich and their oil is running out, they are using their oil wealth to buy American weaponary to expand their influence in the region, they are rich and eager for power, they arm proxy groups to fight their religious enemies and their allies (sunni vs shia). Best seen recently in Yemen and Iran itself.

tl;dr the stage is being set and I'm buying gold and oil to hold for a year, if the economy goes up then growth will increase oil demand, if war breaks out, oil prices will rise as well, either way, I win.
