The world you live in now was granted because of the sacrifices of those that came before, sacrifices made to stop authoritarian regimes from imposing unforgivable conditions on the rest of the world. If you lack the foresight to see what's coming, that's okay, but at least educate yourself on China and be aware of how they dedicate a rather extensive amount of resources making the rest of the world think they are a benign entity simply seeking a peaceful rise. They got this far one economic merit alone, and Obama even delayed the Pacific Pivot,  so what reason did have in engaging in a massive military modernization over a decade ago? What does China need a strategic stealth bomber for if it seeks strength through economic relationships? Again, foresight.
