Depends. Are they so desperate that they want to go to war, or are they rather becoming more of a middle class that wants to play the newest video games?

How many wars has China instigated in the last 30 years though? Seems to me the region is shifting to accommodate the new power balance quite nicely.

Before WW I, France and Germany were each others largest trading partners. Trade and prosperity are orthogonal to war.

I'm not sure about video games, but they do seem to crave mobile phones and luxury goods :D
