With EU and US together, India as supporter (could be even USSR in historic comparison, which means main bearer of losses) there is simply no point for China and Russia to try militarily (and not economically).

I have a bit the impression China is build up as a bogeyman to blame to have a reason to finance new military technology. Not that I believe China has good intentions, but there is so much hype in the description of Chinese power, which simply is not there to that extend.
