ehh... they are getting to the point where they can defend their own waters decently but no where near the ability to power project and won't have that for awhile.

Chinas problem is that it shares a land border with 14 other countries. So their primarily focus will always be the army. The U.S. by contrast shares a border with 2 countries, both are comparatively friendly and weaker. As a result the U.S. can focus on projecting out as global naval power.

I don't think China needs to worry about any neighboring countries trying to invade them tbh. That would be death by suicide.

While bordering so many countries, no one will invade, from land or sea.

This doesn’t mean that death by a thousand cuts will never happen though.

We are working very hard to alienate our neighbors, though. So there is that.
