You answered your own question in the words "China has traditionally
(for most of the last 35 years or so)." I sometimes joke about people
who believe that "history always begins this morning."

History did not begin 35 years ago. Particularly when you're talking
about China, history began centuries or even millennia ago.
You have to go back at least to WW I and WW II when you ask
about these alignments. The last 35 years are irrelevant.
