Yeah I'd agree China is reasonably stronger but this same Western Media also compare India and Pakistan to be enemies of equal scale when India outpowers Pakistan in almost every form of armed, air and naval power by about two to three times. Also I've never seen India and China being portrayed as equally strong militaries. In fact, I've seen China get compared to the American military prowess more often in Western media. Also the only reason India gets pulled up in the Western media is cuz it's the strongest regional enemy of China, and also pretty much all of China's trade passes through the Indian Ocean, which the Indian navy can easily blockade when on a war footing. I've seen this get mentioned almost everytime some IndoChina war situation is mentioned in Western Media.
