Oh really? Who's going to buy the stuff in China? The convict labor making the stuff? The paid workers making $1 an hour if they're lucky? The command economy system of Communism has been proven a failure by the collapse of the USSR and the capitalization of the PRC.
Unless the PRC comes up with some Star Trek style weapons in a vacuum of the US and Russia not working on the same thing, China's not really going to come up with a military coup that can counter thousands of ICBMs from Russia and the US. China and Russia will always offset each other because Russia has many more nukes and China has many more troops. China wants Siberia and Russia's not giving it up. Stalemate.
But go on with your Yellow Peril self; people have been freaking out about that since about 1951.
