Not to be rude, but china is very much not a war culture, they are, like the Greeks, a bureaucratic culture. Nor is British culture war culture, its adventurer culture, hensewhy they loved colonising worthless rocks, and defending those rocks (falklands). Only war culture would be Slavic and Turkish culture, IE: Afghanistan, Mongolia, Russia. Also any culture can fight good, greeks brits and chinese, even if they arent warrors, just dont expect every man and women to show up to the enlistment office!
Qing CCP Ming all avoided war at all cost for example
