The Chinese historically have been always a powerful cultural and military power (at least in Asia). It's only a question of time until its economy rivals that of the US and its military reaches parity with the US.
Usually when countries become richer they tend to develop democratic civil societies. Unfortunately, China may become one of the biggest exceptions to this rule since it comes from millenias of strong autocratic governments.
Definitely would be interesting to see what happens.
