Former NATO commander reckons that China won't be ready for a war with the US 'for about 10 years'

• Retired US Navy Adm. James Stavridis says China isn't ready to fight the US in the next 10 years.
• "If we ended up in a war with China, it wouldn't be just the US and China," Stavridis said.
• Stavridis said US allies such as Japan and South Korea would come to their aid if war breaks out. 

China wouldn't be able to fight the US if war were to break out within the next decade, said a former NATO supreme allied commander.
