I'm inclined to believe that it's more than that. Once China become dominant in anything, they are going to start weaponizing them -- eg, rare earth metal export control against Japan to settle political dispute in 2010. I'm no fan of the neocon's influence on the US foreign policy to promote "American liberal democracy" everywhere, but China is an existiential threat to the world.
