I don't think that we have the stomach or capability for an all out war with China.
I also think that we have been utterly idiotic in enabling China to get so powerful and that includes sending high tech manufacturing of consumer electronics there to save a few £, and therefore allowing their economy to grow exponentially and at the same time allowing Chinese researchers and academics to infiltrate many of our universities so that they can report our latest innovations back home.
Of course if we didn't have access to a cheap manufacturing base such as China then our standard of living would not be as high as it currently is.
Perhaps investments would have been better in Africa countries and / or other Asian countries to spread the risk a little. With African countries a comprehensive education system would have needed to have been implemented first.
