As far as I remember, Germany in 30-s was underdog, deprived of colonies, territories, with failing economy and zero weight in international relations.

China is actual, undisputed world leader. They don't tolerate other nations telling them what to do on their land, and like economical expansion to neighbor states. They can afford it.

I don't see parallels.

Germany in the prewar period had the second-largest domestic economy in the world:

China is still second in the world by nominal GDP, although they're closer to us now than Germany was then.
