At present China is looking to domintae Asia only while slowly making their presence in Africa.
The biggest obstacle for China's Asia dominance is indeed India.
While contries like Japan & SoKo are economically developed, they have never engaged China in a direct war.
With India, China has fought a war. The economic and military rise of India & it's strategic location with Navy islands near Malacca Straits can block all Oil passage routes towards China during war.
It will be foolish if Chinese rulers think that in 21st century they can dominate world like USA did. USA was an isolated country during both world wars i.e. beyond the reach from any of the enemies.
While China is sitting right next. A future alliance between India-Japan-SoKo-Taiwan-Vietnam will be enough to deter China, in case US gets weak.
