If you paint a Chinese flag on a wolverine, and poke it with a stick, it will bite you.
This does not mean that the primary danger of aggravating the Chinese army is that they will bite you.
It certainly does not mean that nations who fear Chinese aggression should prepare by banning sticks or investing in muzzles for wolverines.
Think of all those billions of dollars we will spend on a public network of EMDs (Emergency Muzzle Dispensers) and on financing the stick-police! It’s for our security, so surely it’s well worth spending the money.
