Don't make the same mistake of under-estimating China in 2021, that the US made of underestimating Japan in 1941.
To see the mind-set of the US/Europeans in the 1940s, take the time to watch the miniseries "The Singapore Grip". The British in particular were very dismissive of the Japanese. They sent a whole two(!) battleships off to destroy the Japanese invasion fleet. The Japanese polished them off in about an hour and a half. [I see that moment as the point when the whole British Empire died. But it took the British another 15 years to recognise that death.]
