Ah, but it does. The more closely integrated the Chinese economy is with the global economy, the greater the pain that comes in response to military action. When China was more economically isolated, the primary consequence they would face for military adventurism would be a military response. Now, if they were to roll into Taiwan (for example), the response from the rest of the world would not be limited to a military response, but a massive blow to their economy as well.
