Acyl, thanks also from me for the analysis -- rerendered in more formal language it could well make a good box.
I'll drop the proper terms in - for example, a quick google confirms I was thinking of the maxim ????(fù guó qiáng bing), "rich (or prosperous) country, strong army". Apparently it was referenced by President Xi just last month. Feel free to cut, slice and dice anything I post, of course, I've got no idea what's apropos.
Ironically, as it happens...I'm actually poking stuff for work right now on Hong Kong and regional politics. Unfortunately, it doesn't involve people in brightly coloured capes and tights, but hey, can't win 'em all.
