Most of the alliances/pacts that China is building are trade and oil related, not military. China has no navy nor the will to fight campaigns outside of China.

Sorry, I disagree. They have fought outside of China in the recent past (Korea, Tibet, Vietnam etc.), they are expanmding now in terms of influence that can be both economic and military (Spratleys, Panama, S. America, Africa, Iran, etc.), and they are rapidly building a modern, blue-water navy.
