My experience in China is very limited, but it did support the general idea that Chinese people are very entrepreneurial and generally disregard official rules. That's super bullish, but it mostly exists on a fairly low, sole proprietor level. They need more freedom and property rights protections in order to make big transformational productive changes.
My main worry about China as an adversary is that they know how to build things and they know how to do it well. THis is human capital that we've forgotten. Maybe their society is organized in a way that can't flourish in the long run, but in a war that productive capacity and human capital is very dangerous.

A real war with China can't happen, for the same reason that a real war with Russia can't: it would kill everyone.
