Unlike Russia which has turned out to be all smoke and mirrors, we already know China is no serious threat despite its sabre rattling and our medias response to that.
China is a manufacturer of just about everything for export to Europe and the US, in order to do that it must import just about everything, including energy from Russia. If China were to attack a western country, all of that would be cut off on day one. It would have to do it by sea, it has one aircraft carrier still being commissioned, how many of those troop carrying vessels would make it to their landing points.do you think. Maybe in another couple of decades which is still unlikely since we in the western world are pulling out of China. China is in serious economic trouble because of its visions of military grandeur and sabre rattling.
