So basically, the only way the Chinese are a threat is if we CHOOSE to go to war with them?
This country could, if it wanted to, burn any point on the planet to bedrock in less than an hour.
The U.S. can put weapons laden aircraft over any point on the globe in less than 24 hours.
We can put a CVBG off the coast of almost any nation in the world in under 48 hours.
We can put a brigade on the ground of any country on the planet in less than 48 hours, and a division there in a week.
Unless we choose to engage the Chinese in a contiguous country, they are virtually powerless to interfere militarily.
That could change, but not overnight, and even then, I doubt it.
What would happen to the Chinese economy if we embargoed all Chinese products from the U.S. market?
Just some observations.

Thanks, TR. Do others agree that China is not a potential threat to our national security? (TR, if I am mischaracterizing your view, I am sure you will not hesitate to correct me.)
