No, after Taiwan, the Chinese are going after Mongolia. Then Siberia. That ought to occupy them for a good century. Plenty of natural resources in Siberia, lots of living space, and a diminishing Russian birth rate. Mongolia? I know that many Chinese are sneaking into Siberia -- they consider that they are retaking what was originally theirs (a similar attitude found amongst the majority of Mexicans and recent immigrants from Mexico). On the other hand, Siberia is so cold! Anyway, a billion and a half people need a great of room -- they might go after both. The Chinese are a patient people.

Well, quite frankly both Russia and China have equally (non)-valid claims to Siberia. If the Chinese occupy that land, they're going for liebenstraum, the same as the Russians did in the 1800s.
