China needs both Russia and the USA for their GDP growth, they establish commercial relations with both... the Chinese are the kind who usually want what's best for their business, and their capitalism disguised as apparent communism/MaoismYes but China will soon reach a point of military supremacy over the US and then all bets are off. Why continue to trade if you can just take what you want?
Turkish Islamist leader Erdogan once said: democracy is a train ride, we get off when we reach our destination (i.e. Islamic theocracy). China thinks the same: trade is a means to build up military supremacy and then they can just rule with an iron fist.
Deng Xiaoping's maxim: "Hide Your Strength, Bide Your Time." Remember, it's the Chinese who gave us The Art of War. All their actions are geared towards "comprehensive national power". They are infinitely more dangerous to world freedom than Islam (although Muslim with nukes are a real threat too).
