Wars reset all debts and China has all the capacity to sustain a massive war economy equal to USA during WW2. I think people underestimate what they could do if provoked or desperate

This, exactly. Underestimate to our detriment...surely military intelligence assesses it clearly, but the prevailing story in the press is the reverse. I wonder why that is?

Racism is a big part of it. Every race thinks they are superior and somehow other people are stupid, orks, apes, subhumans etc.

When wars break out though it generally turns out that people are equally capable of killing each other and logistics is what makes or breaks any prolonged conflict. Technology helps as a force multiplier but it won’t save you if the logistics break down and you run low on ammo or manpower.
