But there aggression in South China sea is a threat to many countries including Philippines and the fact that they are building an airstrip means they are going to deploy an army there sooner or later! I think USA will not allow that to happen and that might result in a conflict!

Chinese intrusions not only in our borders they are few months before made intrusion in japan also. USA and china always want to dominate the world.

Both China and USA are today heavily dependent on each other economically. USA has deficit running into trillions of dollars because of thye Iraq and Afghanistan wars and recession at home. China has booming trade with USA as it has become a low cost supplier of cheap labor oriented products amounting to billions of dollars to USA. China in turn deposits a major chunk of its dollars back into USA which helps run the US economy. So they will make noises but not go to war. China is a growing military power and will continue to expand its strategic frontiers. We should worry about Chinese intrusions into our borders.

That is why I feel that there will be no major war on this issue.

There may not be a major war, but tension builds up. And there may be a possibility of minor exchange of fire and subsequent casualties.

This is what is called cold war. There was a long period of cold war between western powers and Soviet Union but never two actually entered in war.

True. As you said, these skirmishes finally end up as provocative actions.
