That depends on where, in Asia, there are no countries in China’s surrounding areas that are China’s opponents.
The United States after World War II is the strongest, with 60% of the world's gold reserve and the largest army in the world! What happened in Korean War?
The Chinese peasant army forced the troops of the United States and other 16 countries from the Yalu River to the 38-degree line.
Do not underestimate the power of united China. All forces that dare to infringe on uniting China have been eliminated and assimilated by China: the Huns, the Turks, the Khitans, the Manchus, the Tibetans, the Xinjiangs, and the Mongolians.
Of course, divided China does not have the ability to dominate Asia, which is why Westerners must support Taiwan.
Evidence is language: Manchurian ruled China, but learning Chinese language and Chinese culture as well, otherwise it will fail. Now, in the People's Republic of China, the Manchu people speak Chinese, and it does not tell what the difference is between Manchu and Han people.
Instead, the Chinese government is taking measures to protect the Manchu culture.
Chinese soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice in order to protect their homeland: because people always die, but their meanings are different: Some people are dead, but heroes and others are dead and meaningless.
Under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese army and people are all soldiers, and any enemy that dares to challenge China will be eliminated.
