Maybe someday, but not by 2020. China currently has almost no blue-water navy, little air-lift capacity, and no possible way to achieve air superiority vs. Australia.

If they wanted to fix that by 2020, they’d need to be addressing it NOW, which they ain’t.

Not to mention that there’s no way on Earth that any U.S. administration, of either party, would allow China to militarily annex the Philippines or Indonesia, and especially not New Zealand and Australia. Japan would back America in those cases.

Their strength will be DECREASING over the next two years, as their chief economic engine – manufacturing exports – keels over and dies.

Really, it reminds me very strongly of all of the wailing going on in the U.S. in the 80s about how Japan was going to take over the world and “buy America”…

How’d that turn out for them ?
Look for a similar situation to occur in a China near you.
