What is so worrying about China's massive military build up is that there's no benign explanation.
China wants access to the world's oceans which isn't dictated by a foreign power. China wants ocean access parity with the United States, along with the opportunity to become the global dominant superpower in the 21st century.
It seems like in the best case he is preparing to take Taiwan and in the worst case he's planning to take all of Asia
Taiwan is the cork in the bottle. If China has that, then there is no keeping them bottled up.
The simple fact is that if these two dictators can figure out how take out the U.S. then there's nothing stopping them from taking over the entire world.
The US doesn't need to be taken out. All they have to do, is to out-compete the US in economic power, then use the money to build a more modern, more powerful Navy.
Look at the resources and air superiority it took to pull off the Normandy landing. When China becomes capable of all that, even temporarily, it will be able to take Taiwan, then eventually take its place as the new superpower.
