Yeah, they are resources starved right now and that is why they are looking to expand into the South China Sea and making territorial claims that clearly break international norms and law. There is a pretty good chance there are large oil deposits there and they want that oil without sharing it while their neighbors. They are building a military that will allow them to back up those claims unless we step in to stop them, and I'm not sure we want to do that.
While some may be watching that front for war I am more worried about China than I am about North Korea because China really does have the technology to make life a living hell for anyone they attack.

Sometimes I wonder who is the greater enemy because unlike Russia China is getting command of the global economy and we trade with them a lot unlike Russia.
