China is boldly beginning to show off its military growth. Does anyone think that there is a purpose for that? China is a hugely populated nation that has been a Marxist/Maoist state since roughly 1948. It is a land with a rich cultural heritage that has included both empire and seclusion. The later cost China its internal integrity via eventual Western domination for several hundred years.
The Japanese Empire of pre-World War II demonstrated that an Asian Power could confront and compete with the West. After Mao tse Tung consolidated Chinese hegemony eliminating war lords and competitors (Nationalist Party Chiang Kai-Chek), China began a long overhaul of militarization.
China went nuclear and now they are going technological. Therein lays the challenge to America. China is a land with a bunch of people and a lack of resources to compliment its rising economy and military.
China may feel the expansionist need as did the Pre-WWII Japan did.
