No I don't think they're war mongering, because a war is exactly what they don't want.

What they want is to leverage the power of a (well-run) hybrid command/market economy, huge population (larger talent pool), and power of being unsuspecting #2 and slowly absorb all the other countries and economies.

The US does this too, but at least we also want to spread democracy, so the people have a say.

If they can achieve the above, they will take control of the world.

What does 'absorb' mean? They want to be influential, that I agree with, but that's not really unique about China.

As for US spreading democracy, you should read up on how they overthrew Iran's democracy and replaced it with a dictatorship that suits the US interests better.
