I think the Chinese approach is far more nuanced. In their dominance approach, you can take the same "domain" as the west sees it and be dominant or not in a lot of ways. That same domain can have a political, military, cyber, thought, print etc "Dominance." What field are we fighting on? Sun Tzu says to fight on the field of your choosing not the choosing of the enemy. Perhaps China is deciding to set the field of battle somewhere they are or have more "dominances?" It would be setting the field of battle rather than letting their opponents set the field of battle. We are only thinking in terms of military power, but what if China is thinking in far more broad terms? We could have a problem.
