Yep - China will be happy when their 5000 years of history (which in their eyes means they should be as culturally revered as the Greeks or Romans) means they are treated with the international respect and reverence they feel they deserve.
Or at least that's how it was explained to me last time I was in Shanghai.
Under Mao they apparently had ambitions regarding Burma, Laos, Northern India, Vietnam, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Ryukyu Islands, 300 islands of the South China, East China and Yellow Seas, as well as Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Taiwan, South Kazakhstan, the Afghan province of Bahdashan, Transbaikalia and the Far East to South Okhotsk... that's if you believe Pravda!
I think Russia is incrementally more dangerous in the near term.
Thinking they're going to invade large swathes of Europe is laughable.
But some more Baltic adventures seem highly likely to me.
Even moreso under Trump, who I think will wilt under the extraordinary pressure and seriousness of what to do if Putin marched into another neighbouring state.
