>relatively

Why are you suddenly, when faced with data that doesn't fit your narrative, using that word when it was nowhere to be found in the original discussion?

>Why? Does the UK need to deal with this "fact" too then?

If the interests of UK and China ever seriously clashed and led to a conflict, yes, they would. I can't believe that military capabilities and force projection in the modern world need to be explained on a website meant for professionals.

The world is always relative. Otherwise if you want it in absolute terms, the US is the world's 2nd largest global manufacturer. What manufacturing do you need to bring back then?

Who clashed with who? The US has no real conflict with China. Most US companies and citizens are happily using China made products before the tariffs. Lots of US companies sell to China. Where's the issue?

Oh you mean what's been said by certain political parties and the media for their own gains?

Exactly right. As if the military is ONLY about the navy. Then don't slice and dice it as you please. Who says the US is weak? I didn't.
