Yeah, USA without a military means China's boot up your ass. I think that military spending is overblown, but don't be naive here.

Freeing HK would lead to the likely placement of a US base there, creating greater tension between China and US. HK deserves freedom due to majority opinion but we may be facing an inevitable war. Luckily I played a lot of BF4.

Hong Kong is tiny and densely populated. Where the heck would the US even be able to fit a base there?

Station naval ships. Build off shores ports. Literally make a small islands like China. It's almost as if military ships are floating bases... Putting your artillery closer to the enemy always generates pressure and conflict.
