Question U.S. vs. China post #1  quote:



U.S. vs. China

Series of questions on this nightmare scenario:

1. Can the U.S. invade China in the first place?
2. Are America's technological and firepower advantages helpful in the long run against 1 billion people?
3. How effective would U.S. airpower be?
4. Is it safe to say every Chinese citizen would fight?
5. Can the U.S. hold up against a modern military supported by guerrilla warfare?
6. Any other thoughts?

I think China is one enemy the U.S. will need a miracle to defeat. I see it sort of as a whole bunch of people lining up against the Chinese coast to prevent an amphbious assault. An airborne assault is pretty dumb as well. The only advantage America will have is our airpower and sea-launched missiles, but that won't last forever.

In the end, I think it's a lose-lose situation for the U.S.

Also, does anyone know of any tactics or warplans the U.S. has in store regarding China

Actually China's sea and airpower is very scary and with the exception of your stealth bombers and your biggest aircraft carrier China can hang with the US in a naval or aerial battle. The thing that worries the US is not what they know China has got but it's more what they don't know China has got or is developing.
However I don't think the US needs to worry about Chinese military programs as they pose no direct or immediate threat. In 20 - 30 years there will be 2 superpowers the USA and China with China being the dominant power in those two and as such China is building a military that represents this.
Neither country willl attack the other they have to much to lose.
