Britain has said it has no plans to stage a naval confrontation with China in the and that it aims to send its carrier strike group in the most direct route across the contested body of water from Singapore to the Philippine Sea.
The cooling message emerged hours after China’s military and state media warned the UK against provocation as the group, led by aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, undertakes what had been expected to be a more assertive deployment.
British defence sources said HMS Queen Elizabeth would sail “tens of miles away” from and Paracel Islands, which are claimed by China. The aircraft carrier and allied ships entered the South China Sea earlier this week and are expected to leave by the end of Saturday.
It is understood there is no intention to repeat the decision to sail the HMS Defender off the coast of Crimea in June, which led to the warship being followed by the Russian coastguard and being buzzed by low-flying planes. Instead the Queen Elizabeth and its support ships will go on to take part in exercises with the US, Australia, France, Japan in the Philippine Sea, in a multinational show of strength aimed at Beijing.

we r still in peacetime. China shouldn't be pushing her luck!
Alright I’ve had enough. If I so much as hear a pipsqueak about Taiwan or nukes in this thread then you can join Tsavo Lion on a two months vacation from the forum.
Only time war might happen, and that is a big If, is when China has comprehensively surpassed the US. And out of desperation, US provokes a war as a final bid to derail China's rise. That by itself should tell you a lot about who's winning this long game.

Some would argue that's exactly what we are seeing right now.
My worry is that the covid crisis will precipitate a more dangerous international climate.
Covid just sped up what's already been happening; this steady movement of power, wealth from the West to Asia and then Global South.
China's plan to team up with Russia and integrate entire Euroasia into one massive market with itself at the center will completely change global order. The US of course won't let that happen quietly. It will likely go to war to maintain it's hegemony. China understands the danger it faces in the next 5-10 years.
But the sun shone on Europe for 600 years, it is now moving back East. And in the distant future it may shine back on Europe again. That's the destiny of things or how balance is maintained, whatever you want to call it.

The only way it'll shine on europe again is if they join with Russia and China in a massive eurasian supercontinental economic bloc.
