No. If anything, China should be more aggressive. If 1/3 of the world's population and 2/3 of its economy couldn't even make China sweat, why wouldn't it go harder?This would be reasonable if India was China's only rival. But it's not. US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, 30+ European countries, Japan, South Korea, Phillipines. So it's more like 1/3 of the world's population and 2/3 of the world economy.
