Nor do I. China is heavily invested in doing business, as is the West, and this can be a limiting factor to how crazy the countries act. China wants functioning markets. It's Russia, on a massive scale, who's gone for the 'make everyone else disintegrate in civil war, what could possibly go wrong with amplifying this perennial human failing' strategy.

Not a fan. We cannot ever eliminate the sparks of these fires without abandoning nations (and then getting flattened by rival nations) so I don't like chaos strategies. Chaos doesn't need help.
