If that was a reply to my question; then how does war help it assert itself? If the signs coming from different corners are correct, then all is not well with China's economy. It is not rabid enough to launch war like Pakistan without consideration to what happens to its population. China is not without fault-lines that would be ideal in a large war, no?

Identifying fault lines and exploiting them are two different issues. Expecting ren&-b&ys like MMS, SMK,... to exploit these fault lines in a military conflict is unrealistic.
