The Chinese never had balls to begin with. They just don't have the killer DNA that others do and for a good portion of their history they have been bullied and pushed around by much smaller powers, which is pathetic if you think about it. They are in many ways similar to Indians except they aren't as parasitic.
They are massively building nukes and SSBN last decade, most powerful killing machines.
They are subtle, and interested mainly in commerce, very similar to American Jewish elite.
Beware with those people, in the end, they are the most dangerous and who have the conditions to win and prevail in the current world.
China only shows military aggressivity in things directly related to han Chinese people, like Taiwan issue.
Their people wouldn't tolerate a speech of bullshit and police world like the alienated Americans do.
Han Chinese elite power is sustained in han Chinese patriotism.
USA is a very different thing, USA elite power is sustained in money, bribes, lies, bullshit narratives, corruption and sexual blackmail.
USA, being a democracy, can talk bullshit without more resistance than fire some generals.
China, being a dictatorship, can't mock own people like USA elite does. They can't never say "we will damage own economic interest just to save non Chinese people", nobody would accept it.
