I'm thinking more along the lines of 2025.

Then they'll be going toe-to-toe with the West technologically in enough respects that when you throw in: Chinamen, Screaming, 1 Billion ea...

Kowtow is the word that comes to mind.

China today can't be compared to China at any time in her past.

For centuries they were doing just as you say.

But I know you've been paying enough attention to China to know that the quasi-capitalist industrial revolution they have going on over there is an immediate game changer.

China now is the United States 1942-1943 when the production lines were really running full-bore. Only their military-industrial complex has largely just been industrial to this point.

China will have no reason to attack their best customer. It would serve no purpose. On the other hand, wealthy Chinese citizens will want and demand land, so China will have to find way to obtain land. I believe they will do that in two ways. The first will be by emigration and de facto colonization. That is already occurring. The second way will be by assimilation of neighboring countries. My guess is that North Korea is very high on that list. It wouldn't surprise me to see North Korea become a client state of China within 15 years. I doubt the new ruler in North Korea will be able to hold it all together there after daddy dies.
