You're not really following your own circular logic here, so China is less dependant on the US, if they are less dependant on the US, they would become less incentized to not piss off the US, not the other way around. 

"Cold Wars" are proxy wars too, not direct conflicts. 

The thing about China is, good/bad/indifferent one thing I think is they can be quite vindictive. The US doesn't have a monopoly on being an ass, lol. So if you piss them off, I think what will happen is a lot of unintended things. 

Like for starters it wouldn't surprise me if China started pumping money towards North Korea, ISIS, Iran, and every other which way to give the US as many headaches as possible. Russia basically already does this, with China it would be worse, I think they would make it a point to destablize every type of global interest the US has. 

That's what I think would be the problem. The idea that China would just say "yes sir, may I have another" after being slapped in the face, I don't buy. Of course the US is more powerful militarily, but China could also blow the world up 50x over if they wanted to and even have tactical advantages in certain areas, like hypersonic missles. 

They dont get into proxy wars, China for all its size and power barely projects power boyed its borders.  

And them supporting isis is idiotic.  You havent much clue what you are talking about do you, last theing they will do is support religios fundementalists. They already are the only thing keeping NK afloat and to a lesser extant support Iran as does Russia.   

LOl nither the Ruskis US or HCina are blowing up the world, you know the whoel issue is they die to.  

And they have no tactycal advantages other then their population, especially in hypersonic missles.
