It might, it might not. America’s behavior didn’t change; from the start they’ve been aggressive and expansionist, the scope just grew as they became more powerful.

China’s been growing rapidly for decades while very seldomly acting militarily outside their borders.

It’s not impossible but it’d be strange for China to make a complete about-turn on their stated policy of non-intervention.
