A withdrawal/diminishment of American influence could also lead to an increase of China's political adventurism. Remember that N. Korea is a client state of the Chinese. This is a ball that rolls outside of the Korean peninsula (Think of the Phillipines, Japan, Taiwan, Indian subcontinent etc.)
Have the Chinese been linked with militant Islam and/or fomenting unrest?
