Tibet is part of China.

If you're asserting Chinas annexation of Tibet makes them 'warlike', then what about the Americans annexation of northern Mexico, Hawaii, the Philippines (given back), all of the Western half of North America (from various Native American States) and so forth.

And don't get me started on British annexations and colonization's. They snaffled up close to half the globe (including bits of China).

Be objective about China mate. Unlike the USA and European powers, they're not about to invade and blow up anyone else any time soon.

I'm no fan of the Chinese State (and you know my views on both illiberal dictatorships, and on Socialism, both of which I despise) but China are not the bogey men people make them out to be.
 
Compared to whom?

The USA? The UK? Germany? Spain? Japan? Russia? The French?

They've been around in one form or another for 4,000 odd years and its been virtually all about internal issues and repelling invasions by European and Asian aggressors (the British, the Portuguese, the Mongols, the Japanese) for that entire period.

Here is the worlds per capita military spending:

Find China in the above list.

As a hint, they're not on there because they spend 207 dollars per person on their military.

We're 8th on the list per capita (and 13th on the list of total military expenditure). Would you consider Australia 'militant'?

Before you answer, consider we've deployed troops overseas in pretty much every war of the past 125 years.

China are not about to invade anyone (barring Taiwan, and again, that's a largely internal issue).

Im no fan of the Chinese government, but you're making them out to be some kind of threat that they're not.

I don't think many place much confidence in the Chinese government released figures. Many studies have given higher estimates of their actual spend.

The estimates are not that wildly different to the offical numbers:

Unofficial estimates place the total amount of military spending for China higher than the Chinese government figures, but these calculations tend to differ between organizations.

The last year that many international institutes provided estimates of Chinese military spending in comparable terms was 2003.[citation needed] In terms of the prevailing exchange rate, SIPRI, RAND, the CIA and the DIA estimated the budget to be between US$30–65 billion. In terms of purchasing power parity, or the relative purchasing strength of the expenditure, the SIPRI estimate was as high as US$140 billion.[14] The Chinese government's published budget at that time was less than US$25 billion.

A RAND Corporation study for year 2003 estimated China's defense spending to be higher than the official number but lower than United States Department of Defense calculations. The defense spending of China was estimated, in the mid-range estimate, to be 38 billion dollars or 2.3% of China's GDP in 2003. The official figure was 22.4 billion dollars. Nevertheless, Chinese military spending doubled between 1997 and 2003, nearly reaching the level of the United Kingdom and Japan, and it continued to grow over 10% annually during 2003–2005.[15]

They're certainly modernizing and pushing forward with a 'Blue Water' Navy, but on a per capita basis (or as a percentage of GDP) it's not a crazy amount (particularly in light of the fact their main threat is from the USA, the most warlike nation in existence currently).

Good point about their navy. They traditionally haven't spent much there in comparative terms, having the world's longest border and only 39% of their border being coastline.
