I doubt China will get involved in any major military conflict given their demographics and the 1-child policy causing that huge change over the 30 years leading up to 2015. If anything, the most I would expect China to do would be more of what they are doing now: take advantage of their manufacturing base because countries outsourced their manufacturing abroad. They may charge more for the exports but just barely enough to keep us (USA & other western nations) from re-developing our manufacturing base. Climate change will be an interesting wildcard to look out for globally. Maybe it will be popular to just buy fewer things & keep what you do buy for longer, causing a big surplus of stuff from China et al that no-one really wants anymore. We'll see in the coming years how it all plays out...
