China does not plan to attack anyone, they just show strength so that no one gets the idea to attack them on their soil.
but if you look at their economic development over the last 20-30 years then you know that it's only a question of time till they are number one anyways. without a single shot.

I tend to think of such things in military terms because I am former military, and I study military history. China has the right idea. They have a strong military, but keep to themselves. These days they don't even seem to support North Korea that much. However, their military is un-tested and hasn't seen combat since the 1950s.
As for their economic might, well, they will be number one in our life time. However, that economic might will be based on citizens of the US buying stuff from China - and we can fix that over night if we really wanted to.
