The Romans said "To enjoy Peace, prepare for War". In my humble opinion, this does not mean finding the biggest & baddest grizzly bear you can find and tweaking it's nose to really piss it off. Unless you are suitably armed, it can out run you, there is nowhere or nothing you can do to hide, and it's really big and strong, with unbelieved long horrific claws. Far as I can see, this is exactly what NATO (et al) have done in the Ukraine to Russia. I don't know any better, but seems kind of a dumb thing to do. Far as I can tell. If the UK was actually interested in "Defence" of the realm, we would have at least two iron foundries making steel from ore, and an appropriate number of coal mines to supply suitable amounts of coke. etc etc. So what gives? I don't know, but nothing for China to seriously worry about imho. As far as a real conventional war is concerned, we can hardly piss in a pot for any sustained period.
