I don't disagree. Though I'd say China's powerful enough and getting more powerful, so its arm probably would cease to be at risk after some point. There's also an argument to be made that some enemies need to be put down even if there's no good domestic resistance. For example, the US is the primary engine behind climate change, which affects everyone. It's an act of war against the whole world. I don't know how much longer that will be or how well protected China is against such change so maybe it's not a matter of having to take down the US before it destroys the world. I'd hope not because there's no point in getting a movement going if everyone dies before it happens.
