Even if they could, they wouldn't get the resources as cheaply as theyre getting them now. Also China has recall elections, if Xi went mad and unilaterally decided to go to war with a country so important to Chinas economy, he'd be booted so fast.
Ehhhh, you're only describing the other side of the calculation that we both know Xi is making. The moment that calculation shows invading Russia/India would maybe work, he'd probably go for it.
If the US removed itself from the global stage, I'd suspect Xi would focus more on the Pacific and Thaiwan, but if the calculations show he could own Russia/India too? Yeeaaaaa he's not passing that up.
Also, we all should know how China's votes go after Hong Kong... China is a dictatorship that calls itself communist. Nothing more.
