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.

We'll see. Like the US, China will have a demographic problem as its population ages. Unlike the US, it had a population control measure that is going to result in a massive unbalance towards the aged unlike anything we'll see in the US.

There are plenty of potential of destabilizers within China already - warmongering is not a likely scenario for them IMHO.
