The Han Chinese ( presently the dominate ethnic group in China ) have this amazing resilience born of their passive resistance combined with stubborn expansionism. Its almost like its a military strategy embedded into their culture. They move into new lands, intermingle with the natives and just slowly out breed the locals and take over.
If they meet any resistance they back off, wait, and then do it again, in a process measured over centuries. They're not overtly aggressive, just persistent and patient. Its how they started off as a relatively small tribe in northern China and over 4000 years became the majority. Now they basically run the whole of China. Every other Chinese ethnic group has either been thoroughly assimilated or reduced to an insignificant minority. Their political and military thinking is also very very long term. While Westerners think in terms of a few years or decades at most, the Chinese strategic thinking is measured in terms of centuries. Hence the whole "Do nothing and win" meme you may have seen.
Now this strategy was taking place in Western countries and ex-colonial countries for a while. For example Malaysia and Singapore are essentially Chinese colonies now. Mass Chinese migration to the USA, Australia, and New Zealand are other examples. But in those last cases the Chinese could not anticipate White people would commit ethnic suicide by importing a flood of Arabs, Blacks and Indians in successive waves. No doubt they were very shocked by this, but being Han Chinese they will just bend with the wind again, be patient, and take advantage of new opportunities as they arise. However long that takes.
