China has one military asset better than their adversaries and only one. Tens of millions more men than women. Beyond that they are still unable to project strength beyond their near shore.

That does not mean they are not a military threat. They are. It is however more of a threat to have an internal collapse because of their form of government. Their central planning is showing the same strains that Russia's did and is getting increasingly unstable.

They also have two weakness others don't

1) Three Gorges Dam, one accurately placed cruise missile or terrorist attack and a third of their country is under water

2) One Child Policy, Nobody is going to want to sacrifice their one only child
