The Chinese, yes those heathens that are about to start WWIII, are struggling to hold on to control of their country and are doing everything they can to slowly integrate capitalism into their government systems. The Chinese system is spread so thin that they even realize that they cannot sustain their present form of governance. They are getting hooked on developing an export economy which means they cannot war on their biggest customers. The Chinese are being pushed into a corner where communism will fail and they will be forced to open up their country to true capitalism in the near future.

China is slowing adjusting their country away from communism. They just don't want to make the same mistake Russia did an completely crash their economy. Some areas of China are barely communist at all any more.
Whether or not they democratize is another question.
China has traditionally stayed in their own sphere of influence and have shown little or no aggression in the western hemisphere.
