thats another possibility....japan is the only country that can stand upto china in asia....with the backing of US, and china wont act hard...
one more thing is that china doesnt have many friends in this world....other than the "dear leader" from north korea boasting of a army of 4-5 million that can be easily taken down from orbit.....
just coz china has signed loads of trade and defense agreements, it doesnt mean they have gained the loyalty from other nations....whereas US has countries like australia, UK, Japan, south korea backing them up....
china would have been finished during the korean war if it wasnt for Truman who stopped mcarthur going into china....
