China should develop a contingency plan to sell foreign assets and nationalize every foreign business in China and to seize every foreigners assets from countries hostile to China like the UK, Australia and US. Seize their stocks from Hong Kong. Militarily occupy Hong Kong.
(1) recall all Chinese nationals and their wealth back to China
(2) sell all US treasuries and any investments in any hostile "government"/banks/stock market
(3) nationalize any business leaving China, including all assets, bank assets
(4) buy gold, silver PMs

You don't want war with them. The whole point of this USA lab bioweapon coronavirUS was to force a Versailles Treaty on China. The trade war was a complete failure.
China needs 3 decades to catch up to the West militarily. Power projection is surface fleet, air and ground. To protect power project, you have underwater subs and SATS and ASATS. The SATs to protect from above the air and subs to protect from below the water surface. You can't shoot a bullet at a sub, nor knock out high orbiting SATs with ease as you can an aircraft. China is just beginning to be equal to power projection in the middle warfare. And needs to have 1000s of subs and 10000s of SATs with DEW, lasers, EW, etc to wage war from the sky. Subs and Sats are vital to defend your power projection of a surface fleet.
Your response when the UK sends the fleet, is that they are liars and 9/11 was an inside job, ISIS was funded by the USA, etc. Demoralize them.
