I do not believe that China intends to dominate the world by fighting endless, enervating brushfire wars. Rather I think they see the world in wholly new terms, technological terms suggesting a whole new reality.
Their desire is not to physically occupy so much as it is to secure markets and royal resources.
For mega power they have space and cyberspace, for terrestrial power they have trade, technology and subversion. They will not attempt to physically occupy the United States, they will establish Quislings of whom there should be no shortage when one examines the Democrat party and most of our major institutions.
The ruthless monitoring of a subordinate, Quisling state given today's Google provided monitoring technology, should not be beyond China's growing capacity.
Technology is sweeping over us like a tsunami even as the way we see the world is being transformed. Forget the Judeo-Christian legacy and the Enlightenment, we have embarked on a new age of postmodernism in which relativism rules. It will rule, that is, until the left, whether Chinese or domestic in character, has full sway and then relativism will be discarded for absolutism.
