They have numbers but they can't transport them as much. Plus most Asian countries hate China. Japan hates them because of Chinese ships in their waters. Or Philippians being bullied by China.
So you are claiming that the country with the world's second-largest military spending, and the fifth-biggest army industry in the entire world "still ha[s] a long way to go"? It's also worth mentioning that their military spending makes up a mere 2% of their entire gross national product! Heck, these guys could serve 4-star meals to all of their soldiers in times of war! And we are talking about the world's biggest army here, which outnumbers the US army by 63%.
Regarding their influence in the UN, they have freaking permanent rights to declare veto in the Security Council! They could instantly halt any military intervention in the world, both against themselves, their allies, and pretty much anyone else. How much more influence do you require in the UN?

China is not
de facto communist, but
state capitalist. That basically means that the state works as one gigantic capitalist organ, and takes care of production, management of resources, and especially trade. This stands in huge contrast with communism which strives to establish a classless, moneyless society, with common ownership of the means of production.
