Is conflict between China and the West getting closer?
China has reacted with predictable anger to this week's official announcement of the so-called Aukus pact.
Not since the US Congressional leader Nancy Pelosi made her controversial visit to Taiwan last summer has China expressed such intense disapproval of Western actions. So how did we get to this point and is the world drawing closer to a catastrophic conflict in the Pacific between China and the US and its allies?
Militarily, China today is a force to be reckoned with. In recent years its People's Liberation Army has made enormous strides in technology and innovation as well as numbers. China's Dong Feng hypersonic missiles, for example, can travel at speeds in excess of Mach 5 , armed with either a high explosive or nuclear warhead.
