This article may be of interest to some: http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_opinion?id=120461363.
Dyer trys to elucidate China's perspective on the current geo-political balance in East Asia. His analysis is difficult to fault. If China's GDP keeps growing faster in relation to the USA/Japan they may be able to effectively participate in an arms race in the not too distant future. This bodes ill for those who fundamentally dislike weapons, but on the upshot it bodes well for the stock prices of numerous defense suppliers. If you're disappointed in the prospect of another arms race you can always call your broker. It might help you beat the arms race blues.
