If the Chinese were defending their country from the U.S, they would win...
If the Americans were defending their country from China, they would win...
If they fight for nothing, they would all go down in vain, no longer powerful countries. |

It can't happen -- a full-scale war. The countries are now too interdependent economically. (Bear in mind the European Communities were invented to tie France and Germany, and specifically their iron and steel industries, together so that warmaking would be impossible. Likewise, even sensitive electronic gear for the US military -- or essential parts thereof -- are made in China.)
The main bone of contention is Taiwan. When the present generation of geriatric communist rulers in China dies, perhaps the issue will die down. The other issues: China's support for evil regimes in Africa where they have economic interests, China's destuction of the environment, etc. really do not cause sufficient anger in Washington to matter. Indeed the present Administration doesn't really care about such things anyway. Perhaps they care a little about oil. But if they cared much they'd do something about economizing energy usage. |

In one sense neither country could win, because neither is capable of occupying the other. In the strict strategic sense though, the United States would be virtually certain to win. The U.S. is capable of projecting sufficient force against China to destroy China's ability to manufacture the implements of war. In other words, China would suffer unsustainable losses.
At the same time, China is incapable of projecting that level of force against the American mainland. In the end, war always comes down to logistics. |

China can only defend itself. They can not afford to sustain their army on an invasion. |

Chinas population alone wouldn't save their asses.
If America could fight a war without political involvement and liberal biased media around every corner, I think it could be done. It takes alot of money and man power to sustain an army the size of china's. Besides, they have a hell of alot of land to protect, they'd be trying to fight a war on so many fronts, they'd be out flanked in no time......if we could fight a godamn war without every armchair general and politician butting his nose in.
GOD BLESS AMERICA! |

Depends on where it was and what it was about. There is no way for us to take hold of China, so the only thing we could do is cripple it economically and industrially. Think Iraq part 1 and 2 times about 100.
If China were to try and invade the US, the boats would get within about 250 miles of the shore and then would all become permanent natural reefs in about 10 minutes flat. Any boat they did land would have to deal with the fact that the US per capita is one of the most heavily armed countries in the world. Most gang bangers shoot more ammo on a weekend than a Chinese infantry recruit gets to shoot in his whole career.
Given these facts one could expect the Chinese Air Force (PLAAF) and Navy (PLAN) to be decimated, eliminating their offensive combat power. We would also hammer down any exposed armor or infantry units, but they could hide enough infantry underground to make invading China impossible.
One might even expect the limited use of tactical nuclear weapons by boths sides. You get kinda mad when a million cluster munitions kill 15,000 people an 500 vehicles in 30 seconds.... |

1st why would we go to war. It would most likely have to go nuclear. For the same reason we didn't go nuclear with Russia is the same reason we will not do it with China or any other country. They are powerful weapons no one can afford to use! |

China has nothing to compare with our military. The Chinese invaded Vietnam in the 1980s and got their butts kicked back into China. |

There is not a single army on earth that can defeat us. Besides, China does not want to fight us. They want to make all the stuff we buy. |

There would be no winners!
The problem with war is there are no real winners, here we have no real winners on a very large scale!! |

One nuke=One big difference.
Or if you prefer the conventional way,
One big bomb=One big difference.

Yes, We would beat the 50M Man army
Why?
Because we have better tech than they do, we use sealth bombers to wipe out there major military and industrial facilities while our Navy is wiping there Navy, including there single air craft carrier out, instead of making this a ground war, we run 24 hour bombing/missile raids over there cities and villages until they surrender. |

If the libs keep their asses at Starbucks and let the military do what it is meant to do,the U.S.A could win the war easily. |

America would clearly beat China's conventional forces. We would then insert a Democratic government which would not mistreat its own people. |

noone. in an all out war between large scale nuclear powers, MAD is almost certainly the outcome |

i don't care is they have a billion people. You have to get them over here first. and the fact that they have 3 million man army (They could muster millions more) does not take away the fact that we have more and better nukes, more and better air craft, and more and better ships. simple. |

well, think about it, can you win a war by bombing the country back into the stone age? no, you do what sun tzu said, "One hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the most skillful. Seizing the enemy without fighting is the most skillful. "
so the chinese would never fight in a war, look at the conflicts the U.S. has gotten into compared to china. there is a huge difference. And there will be more terrorists attacks in the U.S. if they go to war with china. yes, they'll blow the white house, capitol hill, and your house |

Def. China, and not only because of their army; it's because they're allies with governments the US abhors. Besides, the US military is overstreched anyway. |

Anyone consider them out-spending us in defense. We sort of did that with the Soviets. Maybe there economy collapsed because they couldnt keep up with us in defense spending. Maybe China is doing the same - look at how they are devaluating their money. |
