Yes, the world is changing but why should China be a threat to us? They surely have no intention in war or conquering other countries, they have enough national issues.
I had the opportunity to meet and get to know some Chinese people and I have to say they are really friendly and lovable. Agreed, most of them have no clue about politics but that's just their heritage. It's just a matter of time until democracy will take place in China anyway.

National issues never stopped any country from invading another.
The biggest threat people face from China is the difference they could make in their everyday lives. More than likely, instead of sticking with the Western ways of business and such, they would adopt their own standards.
There could be more of a work ethic and more control over people. There would obviously be pros and cons to the whole situation.
It wouldn't really be that different from now though. People would just be more aware of the changes and so could be more averse to them but in reality, that lack of freedom always existed.
Of course this is all just conjecture.. but like people have said, it wouldn't be a total U-turn on how things work now.
