No.

Their culture is at least 7,000 years old though some aren’t aware of that. Most think it’s at least 5,000 years old.

They have felt subjigated by the West for a very long time—and they think—quite unfairly, unjustly etc.

Now they see China as waking up and taking her due place in the world. They expect to rule the world—some for a thousand years.

They expect to take over Australia—so much land—so little population—China needs it—China will be able to take it and will—is their perspective.

They are not kidding. They are not wildly fantasizing. They believe it will be relatively easy—even if they are merely the remainder of a pile of atomic war refuse. They expect to have more left on top of the pile from their 1.2 billion population.

They see the West as degenerate, greedy, corrupt [yes, they are more corrupt and some know that] etc.

Thankfully, God has other plans. Otherwise, they’d likely be right the rate we are going with our political traitors in congress.

Again, such people do not understand how long a thousand years are. China's current rise in stature is due to it's economic prosperity, not it's culture(s). And China's economic prosperity and the military build-up it permits are no sure thing to continue even through this century, let alone the nine that will follow. Indeed, it's unlikely - exports to the US and Europe have fueled China's economic growth at an unsustainable pace through this decade. Further, China is hemmed in on all sides by other rising economic and military powers with no interest in allowing a Chinese hegemon to develop.

They expect to take over Australia—so much land—so little population—China needs it—China will be able to take it and will—is their perspective.

China's birthrate is slowing - their population is expected to plateau and begin declining sometime around the middle of this century (the same holds true for India, as both nations become more wealthy). China shows neither the will nor the capacity to take over Taiwan as yet - Australia is a fantasy.
