UK. China will be, soon, but potential power doesn't mean it has much influence now. Economically it's huge, but has little effect outside it's borders, and politically/diplomatically it lags behind the other four other UNSC nations.

Its probably a sheer manpower thing when one country has the potential (even if it does not have the current ability) to field an army as large as the population of its rival.
If we are talking ability to PROJECT military power its probably the UK--

Current and potential economic might -- China
