Let's not forget the Israelis, who happily sell the Chinese all the technical data and hardware they can manage. That fighter-jet that collided with our P-3A a few years back was carrying Chinese-made versions of our AAMRAM and SideWinder missiles, which Israel admitted to selling.

IMO, the biggest problem with China is that the Chinese have no ROOM. They're rapidly reaching the point beyond which they will have to begin either conquering terrirory or killing off large numbers of people. Granted, they've never had any difficulties with Genocide in the past. However, if they decide to strike northwards, into Mongolia and Russia, to gain the land they need....this would be a Very Bad Thing. The US and Russia are erstwhile allies in the War On Some Terrorism, and the US would probably respond to any Chinese attack on Russia...which would then drag us into a ground-based conflict with the largest army on Earth. This scenario is universally recognized as being totally unwinnable by non-nuclear means.
