My dear friend, what you need to understand is that britain isn't going into South China Sea by itself. What China must know and recognize is that britain doesn't even sneeze without their mighty american's permission. So if anyone ever thought that this tiny brit navy is ever gonna take China, head to head, they are thinking wrong.
The entire design and architecture of the Western Alliance, i.e NATO, is to fight together against their adversary. One only has to look at all the wars fought in the last 75 years, to understand the mechanism of NATO. Be it Korea, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya or Afghanistan. Every single war was fought with the combined effort of NATO member states. And their primary war-mongering member states are, america, britain and france.
These zionist owned and controlled states cannot, would not and have not fought wars by themselves. Because whenever they have tried, they nearly got crushed. The Las Malvinas War (the brits illegally occupied islands that belong to Argentina) saw Argentina wipe out 7 of british Navy ships, that included 2 destroyers and 2 frigates. The war only ended in british victory, when britain managed to (like a whining weasel) successfully persuade france to not supply Argentina any Exocet anti-ship missiles. Prior to that, britain managed to buy out and block-out all Exocet anti-ship missiles available in the Black Market. It is clear to identify, for anyone with a working brain, that had france not helped britain by not supplying any Exocet missiles to Argentina. Then today Las Malvinas would be Argentinian as is the word Silver in the Latin language.
China, I hope, recognizes this fact and works establish robust and powerful alliances. China needs to work bringing Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines in as close allies. The more these countries become closer to China, the further they will sway away from america. China, as powerful as it is becoming, should not and ought not go into to a fight with Zionist-West, alone. Because that is exactly what they want China to do. And China ....... you will not ever find an ally and friend, better than Russia.
