Sure, I meant the US. For example they got this kind of weapon ago. And it is okay for them to use it. BUT if China make it - then they are angry. Their point of view is - "Only we have the right to posses!"

"I hold America to the same standards I hold every other country. But I agree: America has the world's largest, most advanced arsenal and sees nothing wrong with, for example, developing new nuclear weapons in direct contravention of international law, and yet cries foul when China modernises its own military. I would say this is the pot calling the kettle black, but China's military budget, technology, capabilities and ambitions don't even come close to matching America's."

I think they are pretty close. And it is not important to be equal. THE BEST STRATEGY ARE THE ASSIMETRIC RESPONCES. For example:

US built 200 nuclear rockets.
CHINA can build 50 nuclear rockets. BUT THEY ARE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE BALANCE. This is a wise and cheap strategy. Otherwise it will be expensive and will be the Soviet mistake in the Cold war.

"Anyway, judging by your second post, we're pretty much in agreement on this issue. Well, I'm not sure about Turkey, but I certainly agree the EU and US are worried about losing their status and power."

Turkey got a dream - "A Great Turan from Austria to Beijing.", their propaganda teach that TURKIC = TURKISH, but it is untrue. They are trying to make websites and other ways to support the Xinjiang separatism and to control the Middle Asian Turkic republics.
So, some of their ultranationalist are angry about the strong Chinese possition in Xinjiang and sometimes in Middle Asia. And also, Turkey is a part of NATO, so the Turkish position is clear in this aspect as well.

"What I hope is that China doesn't copy America and swagger around like an arrogant bully-boy cowboy."

Sure. I just would like to copy the good, useful things. Just in case. Because the US are one  of the biggest source of "brains", they are collecting them from all around the World.

"That'll drive everybody away: The last thing any of us wants is another America."

In some hands it is OK to be, but only some.
