Ehm, right.
China is to stay with it's "mind our own business/country"-policy, they can have influence over the smaller countries in South-East Asia, they can build economic ties with Africa and South-America for resources (that are shared to the world by good Chinese industries), but they have NOT A SINGLE RIGHT TO INTERFERE IN Europe, Northern-America, or Russia and the old soviet small sattelite states (far eastern Europe for instance).
Fortunately, I think the Chinese leadership understands this paragraph above here, and I don't see any future Chinese leaderships trying to take over the territories that I (and my NATO+Russian peers) tell 'm they can't have influence over.
Of course, we of NATO should stop borrowing so much from the Chinese in order to make this happen
