Both China and US are too large and have many people to be taken and held. But China defeat even America, because China has about 20% of the worlds population and the US has just about 5%. Now the US in fact is broken and work on borrowed money. I think that US will not afford the attrition of his high priced military in a high rate.

The U.S. could defeat China in virtually any military campaign but we're only talking about their army . Militarily , the U.S. is more powerful than their closest rival by a factor of three .

The reason for this has nothing to do with numbers of troops though . It's simply technological superiority and the money to afford it .

Imagine a Roman legion against a hundred guys with guns . The numbers mean nothing and the legion would be wiped out with barely any casualties on the other side .

The U.S. has drones , stealth , the ability to project anywhere around the world in massive force , and so on . It has the best equipped soldiers and is developing weapons now that are years ahead of anything anybody else has . As a general rule of thumb , if we know about it , they've been working on it for between ten and twenty years .

Anyway , this is only about militarily defeating another nation . In terms of guerrilla warfare , insurrection , or whatever , there can never be any victory in China without extremely harsh measures . In other words , if the people of China aren't on board with the U.S. taking over then there's no chance of a successful occupation . The people would practically have to invite a U.S. invasion for there to be any chance of success and let's face it , that's an invitation that will never come .

In any case , these are two countries that , if they ever duke it out , will do so via proxy . A head on clash would inevitably lead to nuclear launches and they both know that in that case they lose along with the rest of us .

The U.S builds the biggest navy but China can take it out with just a ASBM's. They can manufacture thousands of those, can the U.S build ships as fast?

"You take out the sat's and every system that depends on it will be venerable."- you act like taking down a satellite is easy.

Shooting down our satellites is definitely not a viable option.

China's ASBM is another stolen technology... the reason china cannot win is simple. 70 percent of the world joins the U.S. and 20 percent stand idle. Second! China does not have the will to fight. It is sad that anyone would stand up for a country that allows only 10 percent of there people enjoy a good life and controls the life of every human in their country. This is how strong China's will is: They become communist and state that the capitalist countries are wrong and must be destroyed...yet they become capitalist pigs themselves proving both their will is weak ad America was always right. Being ex-military I can tell you nothing china has can match what we hide. Your power in China would be knocked out in 30 minutes or less. Our special ops would be in your country hitting vital points. The air will belong to the U.S. and its allies in a matter of days, maybe a week. China's economy will fall because although we owe them money. IT IS ALL AMERICA'S MONEY! ALL OF IT! CHINA LOSES IN ONE YEAR!

True, but only to a point. The massive influx of money into the Chinese economy has given China a growing middle class, and soon this class will have enough money to support the economy of China alone, without trade from the US, but still with trade with other more minor countries.

Especially since the US has taken an opposing stance against Chinese made products, and in the future the imports and money spent on China will decrease, and Americans will find other places to get our goods, including, and get this, making it ourselves.

Let's clarify one thing, Troop numbers mean nothing in these times other than having the minimal amount. The last time troop numbers meant anything was the Korean conflict where China sent hundreds of thousands across the boarder to die. Without those numbers the North would have surely been defeated and United Korea would exist today. This is not like the early 1900, ww1 or ww2 for that matter, just look at the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan the Mujahideen had over 250,000 ground troop to 650,000 Soviet troops and troop strengths had no consequence on the outcome. It is a new day of war and the amount of troops you can muster no longer dictates your strength or guarantee of winning. Today the strongest asset is controlling the sea's and no Country currently on earth can come close to comparing with the US technologically with our Naval force.

exactly. There is no possible way for china to wage war on any of the first world countries and if they did they would get there ass smeared off the face of the earth, which would piss off a punch of other countries, resulting in a nuclear war unimaginably horrible that would most likely turn earth into radioactive sludge. If using conventional warfare, china, no matter how many of your fantasy cyber or even well trained soldiers, would not, could not, and will never be able to take on the world. Taking the USA is taking the UN, which is asking for there country to be smeared like it was butter.EVEN IF the USA went to war solo (which they wouldn't dare) China's economy would crumble. None of these weapons that you talk about can sink any of our ships, shoot down most of our planes, destroy a large number of our tanks. Even the infantry would be safe. In addition, the morale of the Chinese soldiers is pathetic since most of them are farm boys who are told that the evil democratic Americans will destroy China and there culture. Then they get there ass captured or shot off by war hardened, superior equipped, SMARTER enemies. Those who had survived will be captured and then realize how stupid and idiotic there communist government is. This was exactly what happened in the Korean war where Mcarther went and chewed the north koreans like gum and then spit them out back towards there home land a couple hundred miles back. Then the retarded Chinese came and lost about 1 MILLION soldiers to AMERICAN soldiers. Then the captured Chinese and Koreans realized that they had been lied to and wanted to live in America. Some went home most didn't. Then the pride of the Chinese made them demanded there soldiers back and force them to live in communist China. NOTHINGS changed. Same thing will happen but on a larger scale and full war wouldn't break out because the Chinese would be losing millions of soldiers at a time and would be running home crying blaming the world for all there soldiers deaths.

Here is a report I wrote about this a while ago, it's a little outdated not, the PLA uses the QBZ95 (or whatever it is) now, instead of the M56.

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army and the United States Armed Forces are two of the strongest militaries in the world. The US Military has been around since October 13, 1775. It has five branches, with 1.5 million personnel in all, the second largest military in the world. Meanwhile, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army has five branches, too, with a total of three million personnel, making it the largest military in the world. The PLA was founded relatively recently, on August 1st, 1927. The US Military Leader is Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense, while the Chinese Military Leader is General Liang Guanglie. In general, the US Armed Forces and People’s Liberation Army are very similar.

Tanks make up a large part of a war, and good tanks provide the necessary armor and guns needed for attacking enemy bases. The US Armed Forces have 9,000+ tanks, while the Chinese have about 7,000+. The American M1A2 Abrams is a 67.6 ton killing machine. It has a four-man crew, and armor made out of Chobham, RH Armor, and steel encased depleted uranium (1.7 times denser than lead). The Abrams also packs a punch, with a 120mm smoothbore cannon, .50 cal coaxial machine gun, and two M240 (7.62) machine guns. The PLA’s ZTZ99 is another gargantuan of death. Weighing in at 58 tons, with a three-man crew and armor that isn’t even available to the public, the ZTZ packs an even bigger punch than the Abrams, with a 125mm smoothbore cannon, and 7.62 coaxial machine gun, and a T85 Heavy Machine Gun. Despite the bigger punch of the ZTZ 99, I would rather be in an Abrams because the extra machine guns would come in handy against enemy infantry.

Without infantry, tanks are good targets, so infantry is important as well. The Americans are armed with the M16 or M4 carbine assault rifle, 5.56, with the powerful M203 grenade launcher. The Chinese assault rifle isn’t as original. It is the Chinese knock off of the Russian Avtomat Kalashkinov 47, or AK47. The Chinese call it the M56, shooting 7.62 rounds. This is a little off topic but the AK47 was actually developed in 1947, and only released in 1949, so I think it should be called the AK49. To join the US Armed Forces, you have to be 18 yrs old or older, and to join the Army you have to be less than 42. To join the Navy, you must be less than 34, to join the Air Force, less than 27, to join the Marines, less than 28, and, to join the Coast Guard, less than 27. For the PLA, you have to be at least 14 to join and become an engineer and/or any other non fighting personnel; however, you have to be at least 18 to fight, and less than age 49. Only men are allowed to fight in the PLA. The PLA has 2.3 million active, and 800,000 people on reserve, while the US has I think that the American infantry is better, even though the Chinese have more men; the Americans have the M203 Grenade Launcher attachment, so they are able to bombard the enemy with explosives.

Ever since the dawn of the fighter plane, no war has ever been won without air dominance, not counting guerilla warfare wars. The Chinese best fighter plane is the new fourth generation J10, armed with a 123mm twin barreled cannon, 90mm unguided rockets, PL12 air-to-air missiles, YJ-9K air-to-surface missiles, and LT9 laser guided bombs. In general, the Chinese weapon load out is slightly more basic than the American. China only has about 168-196 of the J10s, with a large amount of Russian MiG29s, too. The J10 costs about $28 million dollars as opposed to the $142.6 million for the American F22. The USAF and Navy use the F15, the F16, the F18, and the world’s only Fifth Generation Fighter, The Stealth Fighter F22 Raptor. The F22 is armed with a 122mm M61A2 vulcan gattling gun. For air-to-air missions, the F22 has 6 AIM -120 AMRAM, and 2 AIM9 Sidewinder missiles. For air-to-ground missions, the F22 has 2 AIM-120 AMRAAM, and 2 AIM9 Sidewinder. Generally, the F22’s load out is a more recent style of fighting. I would compare it to the phalanx vs. legionnaire comparison (ancient styles of warfare). The phalanx was older and could not compete with the new, flexible legions of Rome, something that was proven at the battle of Cynoscephalae, where Rome defeated Philip V of Macedon. In simulation, the F22 took down F16s. China’s J10 was made to compete with the F16 and other fourth generation fighters. However, the J10 is not able to lock onto the F22 or see it on its radar. There is a plan to make 187 F22s, (142 made as of Sept. 2009). The USAF and Navy have 9,200+ (3,700 USN and 5,200 USAF) aircrafts in all, while Chinese aircraft number at 2,000+. Once again, I have to favor the Americans. The new F22 is so cutting edge; the PLA mainly rely on guided missiles, but if they cannot lock on to the F22, then they are sitting ducks.

In my opinion, the Navy is the best part about any military, especially if China were to go to war with the US. I know that during WWII, the battle for the Pacific would determine the winner, Japan or America. I think a war between China and the US would be somewhat similar; whoever would have the ocean would have the war, especially because all of China’s major cities are on the coast. To compare, the US Navy has 332,000 personnel; while the PLA has 250,000 navy personnel. The USN has 11 aircraft carriers (largest AC fleet in the world). The USN also has 10 amphibious assault ships, 9 amphibious transport docks, 12 dock landing ships, 22 cruisers, 55 destroyers, 30 frigates, and 71 submarines. By contrast, the PLA has 58 submarines, 77 principal surface combatants, 84 amphibious warfare ships, 387 coastal warfare ships, 370-480 LCPs (Landing Crafts), and 150 auxiliary/support vessels. In general, this means that China has more ships, but they are not as big and powerful as the American ships. The US Navy’s fleet is the largest in the world, and, in tonnage, is as big as the 13 navies behind it, including Russia, China, France and England. I think the sheer weight of the American force makes them better in the seas, too.

In conclusion, China’s military is amazingly strong, but America has just been a superpower for so long. I would compare it to the British vs. French Empires. Each was huge, but the British Empire was ever so slightly bigger. I would put the US as Britain in this comparison. Also, think America has the better military. I’m not a professional military tactician, though.

I guess you haven't heard. China has developed and deployed the ASBM (anti-ship ballistic missiles) which gives China the upper hand in sea battles even if China navy is outdated. The ASBM can lock in on a ship at sea and sink it. It has built in evasive maneuver flight program in case it is targeted by the US missiles defense. I don't think they defense system can compensate if the ASBM change paths because the ASBM is too fast. These ASBM are on mobile platform so it would be hard for the US airforce to target. China can produce these ASBM by the thousands for cheap price, can the U.S build their ships as fast? The U.S navy might be bigger but the ASBM is the equalizer. It will denied the U.S from coming close to China shores. Add to the ASMB with the increasing Chinese attack sub fleet arm with the russian shkval torpedo, the U.S navy have little chance to make a shore landing in China. Futhermore,China's missiles will advance to a point where surface warships are irrelevant. The missiles will determine all battles in future. This is a glimpse of where China's missiles is heading.

And the US has had more missile systems more complex since the cold war, therefore we can reduce both navies to 0 in the fight making air force the main way of delivering soldiers and adding (in your scenario) a weight of 2 to the air force, where the US reigns supreme. So either way you compare the militaries, it is 3 out of 3 for the US of A. But in production (as proved and tested the US has the upper hand allowing it to produce more navel ships more quickly then any other country in the world, again 3/3)

1) It would never happen. The USA trade with China is to large to risk losing.

2) I don't know what you people are smoking, but there is no such thing as a "Cyber soldier"

3) China's fleet is not even close to the size it would need to be to transport even a fraction of the so called "300 million" Chinese troops.

4) The USA has over 2600 more hydrogen bombs a.k.a fusion bombs than anyone else which spells out for those, who can't see the truth in front of them, total annihilation.

5) Even if the USA resorted to conventional warfare, the US has 12 aircraft carriers that have an average of 85 aircraft. Do the math. That's over 1100 aircraft that can be sailed from pearl into Chinese territory which can indeed hunt and destroy the Chinese fleet to extinction and bomb them to rubble.

6) This magical massive submersible fleet is indeed much smaller and is going to slow down in production as soon as Russia runs out of unused submarines.

7) Lastly the US doesn't need to conquer all of china...just needs to cripple them and willingly surrenders or just there troops just run out of hope and give up.

So why doesn't the US attack?

Because they CAN'T...

US isn't all powerful. They don't even have healthcare.

About point 4)

So does China... And they can build... a lot more.

1) They have the money - US does not

2) They have the mind power - US does not

3) They have the area to test them - US does not

4) Where does US get their technologically advanced equipment? CHINA!!!!!

5) China isn't technologically ADVANCED as the US, but you are missing the point here... They have 1 thing. MISSILES

Ever heard of that? Yea, the pointy thing that sinks ships.

Oh the S-300 missile system owns your "1100 aircrafts" whicht he US can't correctly assimilate.

You are basically assuming that China will wait 8 years for all your carriers to return back to the US, refuel, re-arm, and sail to China... 8 years...

"So why doesn't the US attack?"- why would we just randomly attack China?

"US isn't all powerful."- the United States is proven to be the strongest country in the world.

"They don't even have healthcare."- we do have healthcare, its just not public.

"1) They have the money - US does not"- the US makes three times the money China makes a year.

"2) They have the mind power - US does not"- um stereotype? The United States can afford to pay its workers the most in the world, thats why we have a lot of the smartest people in the world.

"3) They have the area to test them - US does not"- if you are talking about atomic bombs, then we do have places to test them and have done so in the past.

"4) Where does US get their technologically advanced equipment? CHINA!!!!!"- name some of the equipment we get from China. I won't be surprised if you have nothing to say to this.

"5) China isn't technologically ADVANCED as the US, but you are missing the point here... They have 1 thing. MISSILES"- didn't you just say that we get out technology from China? How could they not be as advanced as us? Also, does the United States not have missiles?

"Oh the S-300 missile system owns your "1100 aircrafts" whicht he US can't correctly assimilate."- lol, the S-300 cant even detect some of our aircraft. What do you mean we can't "assimilate" our aircraft?

"You are basically assuming that China will wait 8 years for all your carriers to return back to the US, refuel, re-arm, and sail to China... 8 years..."- the US ships don't have to return to the US to refuel or re-arm, we have docks and bases around the world.

"What is going to make China turn a blind eye for 8 YEARS???"- do you really think that it will take a whole eight years to re-arm ourselves or are you joking?

"774 BILLION of debt is more than enough to cripple the US and send the whole country into a depression it will never recover from."- i dont understand, the US already has China's money. The Chinese are not going to be getting it back if they go to war with us. We can just erase that debt. Btw, it wouldn't be considered a depression if the country did not recover from it.

First off, China is dirt poor. I'm not just saying the government is poor I mean ALL OF FRICKEN China is poor! There taxes are low, the average job pay is even lower and to top it off, your all under estimating the power of a nuclear missile. Just fire one damn Hydrogen bomb on a populated area and it would decimate not only the area of impact, but there would be nuclear fallout! In other words, there would be so much radiation EVERYWHERE. Another way of saying it would be that one bomb or missile that is armed with a nuclear payload would indeed (depends on the area and since we are talking about china I'd say this is accurate) at least five million civilians (Beijing has 13 mil so probably in a good case scenario would be at least 10 mil dead in a second) would be killed instantly AND then the radiation would kill all the survivors within a... im actually not sure but the Hiroshima bomb had a 2 mile radius of radiation and these are on our destroyers AMMO! Also the missles we use have EIGHT nukes on them and each ONE of them is at least 50 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. With one nuke the world would suffer a crisis of global cancer and were talking about a WAR not ONE NUKE! I wish there was another option but yeah, ANY COUNTRY WITH A NUKE CAN DEFEAT CHINA AND THE LONG TERM AFFECT WOULD DEFEAT THE WORLD. China and the USA much less the world would risk the entire world turning into nuclear sludge. Yes, its doable. Easily.

In some ways that's good because people will start to get jobs And lets say that some how we can't sustain our economy,whats stopping us from making the Chinese give us goods if we conquered them? Also last time we conquered a country we gave them food, jobs, health care, and equal treatment and they became an amazing country...both of them. There names are Germany and Japan.

I believe the United States would be the best candidate. The main advantage the Chinese have over the United States is the sheer size of their military force, but as history has shown us simply having a bigger army does not assure victory. There are a number of factors you must consider. Who has homefield advantage? Who has more experienced soldiers? Who has better trained, equipped soldiers? Who has more experienced generals? Who has a stronger air fleet? Who has more resources? Who has better technology? Who has a stronger navy? Who has better intelligence gathering? Who has a more supportive civilian base. Who has a greater capacity to build weapons en mass?

It would be a very even match to say the least. At any rate it's just speculation.

Yeah, America could defeat China in a 1 on 1 war. This would be really tough though, because if China got into a war with America, Iran and North Korea would automatically join them to get rid of America. However, America would have support from France, Britain, Japan, Canada, parts of the UK, Poland, etc. Well, if say America did lose, North Korea would invade China, and then all the Iran governments would invade North Korea. It would be a brutal war possibly making World War 3. However, the possibilities of China going to war with us is a 1/100 chance and the factor of them winning is nearly impossible. We are a major consumer of China's products and without us, their economic side would fall into pieces easily.

The UK. I know it doesn't seem correct but it is. Firstly, the special relationship between The United States and The United Kingdom is strong; Stronger than any other alliance known to man. The military power of the US and indeed the cunning and wisdom af the RAF, The Royal Navy, and its special forces. Even though The US does not have a friendly relationship with Europe, the UK is a member of the EU, The UN, and NATO, the WTO, and indeed the commonwealth. So that's the power of; The US, UK France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Ireland etc. Against China! Easier said than done but that's fact. WE WOULD WIN. The opinion that Russia could win a world war is just a myth.

Look, this is something everyone isn't considering. We are just common knowledge people, we don't know the advanced and highly classified military protocols for the United States going to war with China. And for those who think oh China can shoot down our satellites, well I rather doubt that with that knowledge the United States Department of Defense is just guna lay down and take it, "well they can shoot down our satellites, guess we should just give up". No, we have things in place to make sure that even if they did we could still have contact, etc. with our troops.

Also D.O.D. (department of defense) for the longest time has had strategic plans and instructions for how to attack and dismantle the army and government of every country on the face of the planet and these plans are updated all the time based on military intelligence.

As far as war with China goes I rather doubt invasion would even be considered a viable option for the United States military. Mostly likely we would do everything to avoid going to war and if we did end up going to war then our best option would be tactical nuclear weapons. If we didn't we would mostly likely do our best to surprise them. First we would deploy our naval fleet to sea and launch our stealth bomber from NORAD, then take our all their air and ground bases while our subs take out their subs and ships etc. and our carries will scrabble fighters to take out any they had in the air and our bomber to take out any ground forces on the move etc. Mostly likely the United States will "win" not to mention we would seize all chinese interests in America practically erasing our debt hahaha but for now the united states is the world's number one superpower and will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

Only Chance china would have is to do a military draft recruiting everyone to fight in which even if they one the war there country would be in ruin, now if china ever invaded America it would be to easy, America can never be Conquered and ill tell you why. cause just about every American i know owns at least one gun so if china did ever get the balls to invade America there going to have to kill off the native population, cause i don't know about u guys but i ain't gona let no Chinese man tell me what to do.

This situation has already been modeled, in considerable detail, by a series of games of Risk in my basement. As we all know, the first rule of risk is "Never start a land war in Asia". North America is a bastion surrounded my moats of ocean which provides 5 soldiers a turn, 5! Asia, by comparison, provides 7 and at the cost of considerably more risk in getting taken over. In all of my trials, China prevailed just twice, and the US prevailed more than 8 times. Therefore, I think we can all agree that this issue has been adequately settled. Good debate!

Stupid Idea. It is not in China's interest to go to war with any country, and it is not in any country's interest to go to war with China either. There are too many foreign investments within the country of China, to my knowledge the most recent study shows that there is about 110,000 Americans alone living in China not including citizens from other countries who also live there, so a war with China in China will lead international casualties and damage American and international investments in China.

I have been reading the whole thread and facepalm every time I hear something similar "We will just nuke them off the face of the earth" To answer the argument Yes, Yes you can definitely "Win" a war in theory if you nuke someone the last time I checked China is not a planet or a remote island... it is about 11 million square kilometers and piece of land sharing boarders with 14 countries with Russia and India and North Korea just to name a few. So Nuking China will spread radiation all over Asia and not just China alone.

Radiation will spread by air, and the amount of radiation caused by a war winning explosion which will win a war against China will decimate the whole world. Just look at the Fukishima Nuclear Power Plant meltdown which is no ware compared to a nuclear bomb but it's particles traveled far enough to reach our east coast.

Okay let's try something which isn't going to destroy the whole world, classical warfare... USA have the troops and the technology to stand a chance other countries shouldn't even bother with this unless they have an alliance. This could go both ways, USA becomes cocky and underestimates China's military power like some of the posters I read here then there is a chance USA will loose this fight, I see people posting things like Chinese armies is not well trained or their technologies sucks compared to ours, that could appear to be true but how many of you know that for a FACT.

I don't think any country can win a war against China... the only country that can is United States and even then I don't think we will have international support.

Yes, we have some international support in terms of our war against "terror"... We (The West) don't agree with China's policies but they have never used their military power to attack anyone (Except they tried to invade Japan in 1274 AD and that was the last time China invaded anyone, but failed)

Attacking China for America's gain will make is look even more unpopular with the rest of the world... If we wanted to go into war with China, if anyone has a desire to go into war with China we would have done it a long time ago. War with China is never going to happen, and if it does we will have the largest barbecue the world has ever seen and everyone is invited! It will not be a pretty sight.

Defending against an attack is fine... why start more wars? Pointless.

Hi ..

Doable so long as you don't follow past military doctrine. There is no need to invade.

China's weakness is the same as Japan prior to WW2. lack of raw materials and food. Deny those and it will implode and fracture, strike at its ability to feed it people and produce replacement weaponry.. all over rover.

By creating a strong and aspiring middle class the seeds for major change are already sown in China.

China is more natural allie to the US than you may think .. remember they as a race / nation are the ultimate traders and business people.

To strike and follow up with a ground invasion is folly and outdated. Keep striking leadership centers, communication sites ( and install your own for propaganda).

That is how i would do it and deal with Iran a separate topic i know.

China is powerful, indeed. Their Reign of Terror has lasted for 60, long, dreadful years. As for their army, yes, it is undoubtfully large, and powerful. A Country may not be able to defeat China, as China cannot be won against with any technological advances (Bombs etc) too many civilian casualties will appear.

1.) The Chinese on Mainland will have to cause a big commotion that will distract the Government and the People's Liberation Army.

2.) The Western, Europeans, Pacific, South Asia, and the remaining Powers Unite Under One Alliance.

3.) Take out China's signals and jam their Satilleites.

4.) Pile troops into Shanghai, Manchuria, and the Inner parts of Mainland China.

5.) A Clear and Calm Mind Thinks Thoroughly. The Public will distract them, forcing them to show their flaws.

6.) Troops, Armoury, Artilery, Vehicles, Any Type of Offnesive Technological Weapons will be confiscated by the United Westeurasian Alliance, and the air, ground, and water weaponry, be destroyed or pushed to a halt.

7.) Assemble Parachut-troops to invade Beijing in the strongest armed forces in numbers and firepower ever recorded in history of humanity. March through Beijing; using the "Take No Prisoner" for the PLA resistant Forces.

8.) Arrest the Leading Members of the Communist Party and hold them hostage, while the rest of the United Powers of Westeurasia (Western Powers, European Powers, Remaining Asian Powers) force the Chinese People's Liberation Army to a halt and surrender.

9.) World will be under alert for any missing leaders of the CCP, and then they can track them down for the great times to come for the Chinese people who will have democracy, and those provinces or states in China to have their seperatism granted for their own sovreign state (re)built!

America can easily defeat China in a war because, the United States Navy would impose an immediate blockade of trade with China. Also, Chinese holdings of American debt would become worthless. These two major blows to the Chinese economy would devastate China. During the economic and political chaos, China would become easy prey to the superior American Air Force. Within days, the US Air Force would be able to take out every military installation in China. With Air Control of Chinese Air Space secure, the US Air Force would then shatter electrical, gas, rail, road, and water networks, crippling China. Finally, industrial centers would be bombed to eliminate all possibility of rebuilding. From that point, the Chinese people would have two choices, starvation or surrender. During this period the Communist regime, would lose the support of the military and there will be mass defections of Chinese troops. The military elite would likely seize power from the communist Party and begin proceedings for an unconditional surrender the United States of America.

America. Though it would be a long, hard fight that would probably escalate to a multi-national war, it would come down to this. China has a very large military, they also would be more likely to put a draft in place but America also has a few things. The most advanced military technology in the world, a very large and diverse military, many allies, and in the long run the most important thing, the largest nuclear weapons stockpile in the world. China would more than likely invade Taiwan which America would almost certainly try to prevent. Relations would then deteriorate and small-scale war would break out. At this point, america would gain the advantage and begin to push China back. In order to gain strength, China would ally with N. Korea. This is when things would get very interesting. N. Korea would start launching small scale nuclear attacks against America and it's allies as a warning. China would prevent N. Korea from launching large nuclear attacks to prevent global thermonuclear war but after so many casualties and attacks on the U.S., America would give China and its allies an ultimatum. Stop or we will destroy your cities and reproduce the devastation seen in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan at the end of the last world war. China would hesitate to withdraw and America would drop an atomic bomb in a large city, most likely Beijing. America wins.

No country is above defeat. Sheer man power and military might alone does not win wars. It may win a couple battles but that is the extent of it. When most people hear the word 'war' they automatically think of the fighting, ground troops, tanks etc. Diplomacy, politics, and all the stuff behind the scenes contribute greatly to a successful military campaign (whether it be offensive or defensive).

Attacking China itself is not impossible but not feasible either. An invasion would result in hundreds of thousands in casualties. Thus it would require a force more than double the D-Day invasion of Normandy in WWII. It's not possible to undertake such a venture alone. Invasion without allies is certain disaster. Which brings me to my next point. If China goes to war with anybody (besides India) then India would almost certainly see it as an opportunity and align themselves against China. Which poses a bit of a problem for China because India's allies can move troops and supplies through India instead of a direct sea-to-land invasion of mainland China.

Another course of action could be utilized over the long term. For example, the U.S. has a superior Navy and Air Force over China. They have bases in Japan and other islands on that side of the world. They could blockade major ports and slowly juice the economy while also bombing vital trade routes (railroads etc.) along with fuel dumps & factories to slow production. If you expect the war to last years it would be wise to hamper their economy in any fashion.

"All warfare is based on deception." - Sun Tzu

Well if you study WWII history you could see by my name I. Like Germany, I'm not a racist but I. Like general paulus from the nazis in wwII. I think it is possible to beat china but it would be hard, they have a population of almost 1,400,000,000 wich is about 1/6 of the worlds population. A countries army is usually 2% of their population, but when a draft happens it can be every able bodied person wich could get up to 70% this would be unlikely but with china's communist like government it's possible. I live in the usa, their population is only 300,000,000 wich has no chance alone against china, but with the help of germany's army and ability to race ahead when it comes to war-time technnology plus britan,canada,france, and even poland it would still be a hard fight against russia, china, korea, and india but because of the willingfullness of citizens in the usa and its allies it would get us a bonus in manufactoring and other vital war needs such as food, money, cloths, ect.

Its actually quite simple, in terms of technology, navy, airforce, special forces, the US is unparalleled (With OBAMA in the office it might change though). In an all out war, crippling china could be done withing weeks from the defense line near JAPAN, bombing the coastline would destroy all their economic production sites and would devastate all their urban areas and military instalments. A few surgical stirkes could destroy the vast majority of their ICBM bases (The US could do that with their stealth capacity). China would react by sending as many troops into the battle, hoping that they would break through, but with their navy carrying them and their airforce supporting them, it would be an easy battle for the US. By this time people in China would start a popular revolution as even the little that they had would be taken from them due to war. Not to mention that the US economy could quickly adapt to war (Weve done it a few times before). History has showed us that the one thing Americans need to be the best is a good, inspirational leader (Reagan or Lincoln-like), unfortunately we dont have one yet.

Well the question is too general so it is hard to answer, but I think the answer for now is still yes. China's army is big in numbers as many people have pointe dout but that does not mean that they are able to moblize them all in the war. The question need to talk about where the war will take place. US an other countries will not invade china, that is stupid and dumb. As Hilter showed when you try to invade a country as big and as vast as Russia or China you will stretch your troops too thin. Sooner or later you are going to be in trouble. If however, we are talking about China invading Taiwan and US will move in to fight against China's army then we are talking about a whole new ball game. Logistically US still have more destroyers and Carriers than another armies in the world right now. China can have a much bigger population but if you can't them the soldiers then when what is the use? US have more troops stationed in the world than another countries so it means that is more mobile and already have bases to fight from rather than attacking from its homeland like China will have to do. China will never attack US homeland and US will not attack China at its homeland so the question is best asked based on where the war and conflict will occur at.

There are a lot of debates like this. I don't feel like looking up the exact numbers again,

but basically the U.S. by itself could defeat China and the rest of the world combined if we got all gun-ho psycho about it.

We spend almost as much on our military as every country combined when you include the amount we spend for other countries that aren't technically considered our own military spending. Our technology is years beyond what any other country has and we can mass produce all of this quickly and well within our budget. We have something like 13 individual submarines at undisclosed locations across the globe, each of which have more nuclear capability than any single other country on earth, and they can hit any target on earth at any time insanely accurately with little more than a flip of a switch.

We literally have the best equipped and most highly trained military in the history of the world. Our special forces are, even for the time, more efficient than any fighting force in history from samurais to Roman legions to those dudes from 300. Our regular forces are almost equally impressive.

Not to take anything away from other countries like England, France, Germany, Australia, Canada, etc. But no one compares to the U.S. in this regard (and China's not on the list... in fact any one of those countries could defeat China by itself with just 1 or 2% of the US's planes, subs and battleships on loan.)

Now, as for China, they have a lot of people and nuclear missiles (don't tell Rick Perry, but yeah, China has nukes),

The problem is they have absolutely no way to arm all of these people, and no way to inspire them to actually want to die for the country that has kept their families in perpetual poverty for the last several thousand years. Their nukes can't get here. For every 100 planes they could put in the air 1 of our stealths could take down 90 of them.

Don't forget GDP either.

We have more wealth almost exponentially than any country on earth. People confuse debt with wealth, that's a smoke screen used for political manipulation though. If we wanted to we could pay off all of our debt by year's end. Our debt is like a billionaire taking out a million dollar loan to start a franchise, than writing it off each year as a loss just because he doesn't want to dip into his other investments.

We don't really need China's money if we're willing to pay a couple percents higher in taxes, and we'd still have one of the lowest tax rates in the Western world. We have the infrastructure and manufacturing in place to use that money to almost overnight produce almost a comical amount of advanced military equipment.

Wars against countries aren't a problem, it's the tiny insurgencies and terrorist groups that bother countries like the U.S. Even that can only harm us as much as we let them psychologically and through fear though.

Like Rome in the past, at this point the only thing that can take down the U.S. is the U.S. itself - not impossible, but certainly not something any single or combination of countries outside of the U.S. could do.

Dear Boys and Girls, first of all I write this as a professional with the PhD who knows geopolitics, law and economy. It is obvious that there is lot of people from China here on this debate (so I understand ther patriotism). Secondly, WE MUST PRAY THAT WW3 NEVER HAPPENS. IF YOU WANT WAR PLEASE PLAY COMPUTER GAMES. The thing is that, before you make any assumption you must know that world's money is in hands of 4-5 Jewish families (Rotschild, Rockafeller, Savoy, Frescobaldi, and "British Royal Family"). Every war that has happened before was decided by their decision. Have they ever lost??? NO! Do you think they will get their investments in danger of collapse?? Their world order?? NO WAY! Despite this, you count planes, tanks etc..DO YOU THINK YOU :)) NOW WHAT EACH COUNTRY HAS??? VERY FUNNY!! China is now their experiment (they organized Mao's implementation to power in China). On the other hand, you underestimated power of ISRAEL (e.g.in 1973 they had 70 nukes, now you cannot imagine what they have), USA (solid superpower), EUROPE (750 million people), JAPAN, NATO (as an organisation), SOUTH AMERICA (EU and USA allies), INDONESIA (300 million - hate China) and many other countries who hate China. Notwithstanding, CHINA is a decent country, people work hard every day, they have never retaliated for the Nanking massacre made by the Japanesse, they are not fighters and warmongers in their deed. So, chill out!!!!!! The answer is YES. EVERY COUNTRY CAN BE BEATEN. IN THIS CASE: JEWS (ISRAEL) CAN BEAT THEM WITH A CLICK (they can destroy their market, world's market without a single bullet)- USA; EU; RUSSIA; and even CHINA are their instruments....

china has emp technology now so with 2 large emp bombs they can destroy americas entire electrical infratructure. its estimated that it would take 15 years to rebuild if we got hit. china has a standing military of 2.6 million and 40% of their army is mobilized(tanks, humvees, etc) our standing military is 1.2 million. If we killed half of the population of china they would still have 200 million more citizens than the U.S.. P.s. chinese are famous for tunnel warfare and they're midgets so good luck to whoever gets drafted. I was in the marines and that is one battle that id rather fight with the home team advantage. If we invade them we loose. If they invade america they loose. In my opinion the chinese are just waiting for obama to destroy our economy.

“Through my visit over the past couple of days in the United States, I am surprised by the sophistication of the U.S. military, including its weapons and equipment and doctrines and so on,” People’s Liberation Army leader General Chen Bingde said. “I can tell you that China does not have the capability to challenge the United States. As a matter of fact, the reconnaissance activities along China’s coast by U.S. military aircraft and vessels are seen in China as deterrents.”

For emphasis, the general added, “What I’m trying to say is that we do not have the capability to challenge the United States.”

“As it is known to all, the United States is a super-power in the world today; how can China easily have the ability to challenge it? That is simply not part of Chinese culture and we do not have that capability. We would strive for world peace, civility and development and well being of the whole humankind…The United States has far more advanced weapons and equipment.”

Chen took some exception to the accusation, insisting the routine test flight was not targeted at Gates’ visit, and questioned why similar issues were frequently raised to China but not the United States.

The general insisted, “After 30 years of reform and opening up, China’s economy has made tremendous progress and we are now the world’s second-largest economy…Our efforts to grow our economy is to ensure that the 1.3 billion people are better off. We do not want to use the money to buy equipment or advanced weapons systems to challenge the United States.”

All of these quotes were said by Top PLA general Chen Bingde in a vist to the United States in early 2011

With ease, Britain could do it themselves, yes this is a bias view but we could win a war by forcing there entire population into further poverty by simply cutting trade. The commonwealth of nations currently trade with China with more than 80% of Chinas trade coming from commonwealth nations.

Not only that, NATO would proberbly back a founding member such as Britain (So, Ireland, USA, France, Germany, Iceland ect) would all cease trade leaving Russia and North Korea only to trade with China.

USA have control over South Korea (sorry special friendship) so would give attacking forces a fantastic attacking position over the Chinese.

Side: Yes, doable

IF they were to ever go to war, there are many "x" factors that will take effect. 1 is that we have the largest imports from china, so that means we will stop buying stuff from them. There economy would go down since we wont buy anything. We can make our own stuff and we can buy stuff from other countries. We have a lot of space in the U.S. and they don't hence the overpopulation control. 2 we have the most technologically advanced fighting force in the world. We have the M1 M1A1 M1A2 Abrams, the M2 and M3 Bradly series, CAT mine resistant vehicles, Stryker, and that's just naming a few of the good stuff our ground forces have. Not only do we have that but our soldiers have air support. We can control the skies and put the enemy in shock making them think twice about coming near our plane. They currently have J-10's and the J-20 doesn't come out till 2018, there J-10 was no real match for our F-15 but guess what we don't use that any more. We have the F-22 Raptor which has a kill ratio of 108kills to 0 losses AGAINST the F-15, imagine against the J-10. We also have the F-15E strike eagle for coordinated air strikes. The F-16 series which has multiple purposes and the B-2 which can get in and out undetected at the same time giving the Chinese there worst nightmare. We can clear the skies and bomb them. Numbers don't mean shit there. Just carpet bomb them. We have the strongest navy and 16 aircraft carriers. They have only 1. Our tech is years ahead of them, our raptor prototype came out in 1990 and there's in 2011, about 20 years difference. We can sabotage with the navy seals and marine spec ops teams. Some say that our Raptors will eventually get wasted and run out of ammo but that doesn't mean anything because we can wipe out there air-born air craft and bomb there airfields easy peasy lemon squeezy. We also have a whole bunch of other stuff but the list is to long. Some say that what if china has something secret like an other new plane to use against us, well I say "but if that's true cane you imagine what kind of secret stuff we have, after all we are several years ahead of them.

The war games isn't just troops and weaponry. The fact is that the German panzer was a superior soldier in the second world war. Much of German technology was superior as well.

But all armies travel on their bellies. And every society is three meals away from anarchy. So, it' s not just a question of how many troops China has or how many tanks, but

how deep is their supply chain. How long can they feed them? How long can they fuel their tanks? But I've already said all of this is really wrong thought. No one wins in war.

Given the aggression and arrogance of those in control in addition to their status as a major world power, China would not resort to guerilla tactics; they would engage the enemy forces directly. This would be to the US's advantage, as finding and engaging enemies intermingled with a civilian population --as they have done during their most recent guerilla wars-- makes it much harder to flex the real airborne muscle. Rather than patrolling on the ground, air to air and air to surface engagements will be most significant. Although the strength of a nation's ground forces can never be ignored, modern warfare will depend on air superiority. Because of this, a militia formed by china's enormous population, often considered to be one of there greatest assets, would not be as formidable as expected. Relatively poor equipment like old soviet rpgs will not have any impact on the US's ability to dominate the skies, no matter where the field of battle ends up. The US has much more advanced aircraft and airborne weapons systems and in greater numbers; they have spent several times more on defense spending and weapons development than any other county on the planet. With the devastating effectiveness of today's weaponry, I think having a more technologically focused army is far more valuable than having an impressively large militia. This is not to say that china lacks an organized, professional fighting force, as they do not. However, the vast Chinese population is one of few areas in which China clearly trumps the United States and other western powers. For these reasons, a war between china and my chosen opposition, the United States, would be devastating for both sides. But, assuming that nuclear war doesn't commence and screw us all, A US victory is much more probable.

Side: Yes, doable

I honestly think the USA has enough military strength to crush China, if it saw fit. Lets look at some statistics, shall we? The United States currently has 10 one hundred thousand ton supercarriers in service. China has one 67 thousand ton carrier. The USA has 1400 F-18 Fighters, China has 1300 Q-2 Fighters. Both have a few dozen long range bombers. Just looking at this, the USA has MUCH greater sea power, and ability to mobilize aircraft than China. Although China has over 2 (2.2?) million active military personnel compared to the USA's over 1 million (1.4 or so?), their infrastructure (China is still in the throes of industrialization) and strategic reserves are nowhere near the USA's. In a conventional war, the USA is by far the most powerful military force in the world.

The United States possess one of the only military's in the world capable of defeated China on the battlefield, but there is an exception to this and that is what are the goals in defeating China. An invasion of Taiwan could be successfully repelled given enough time too build up forces. Chinese intervention in a second Korean war could be overcome given proper preparation. But mind you that the U.S. would suffer a great deal of casualties in a war with China so in what context are we choosing to fight China, for what reasons will decide our level of commitment. China would prove a worthy and powerful adversary today and undoubtedly has a very good assessment of U.S. capabilities and plans of countering that. With that said The U.S. undoubtedly has planned out every scenario in which a war with China could happen and plans to defeat China in these scenarios. No doubt the U.S. has a better military then China and U.S. ability to project these capabilities are far reaching to every corner of the Earth. We have the worlds largest Navy, larger then the next 13 countries Navy's combined. The U.S. has 10 active Carrier Groups with 2 Carriers in reserve.and close to 400 aircraft at their disposal. The U.S. has a highly trained, extremely well equipped, and very capable leadership. The U.S. military has a high amount of combat experience and lead personnel. Undoubtedly the U.S. could defeat China on the battlefield, but why would we go to war with China and what would our level of commitment be is the question. This would determine the level of support by U.S. citizenry which is vital to how we fight our wars. Let's hope that day doesn't come because I suspect there would be a high price to pay in a war with China in American blood both given and taking.

when i say doable, i mean that anything is possible. I mean, China supports the global economy. The last thing they want is to deplete their resources and manpower. The CHinese would rather surrender and keep their resources rather than be tired out by the U.S(guessing only nation that could pull this off). Also, the geography of China is very different than to that of any other nation on Earth. They hold power over the himalayas, swamps, plateaus, deserts, and plains. Essentially like the United States but just on a larger scale. The Chinese have also lost almost every war theyve been in for the past century. Although it seems impossible, a coalition between Russia, the commonwealth, and the United States could defeat China, but at the cost of a global economic disaster. So yes it is possible, but right out stupid.

it depends but what would probably happen would bethat China invades Russia to take control of oil and mineral rich Siberia, of course the Russians would retaliate and beat the Chinese back,but they would lose many men and equipment in the process,then china would attack again taking Siberia from the weakened Russians, meanwhile we (the United States) would start supplying russia with equipment and food, and the European Union and the US and her allies (Japan, Israel,Australia,Canada) would put economic embargoes on China which would destroy China's economy. China would start to dominate Russia,and at that point Russia's allies (the Ukraine, most of the other ex-Soviet block nation would enter on her side, but that wouldn't really do much,add more of Russia is conquered by the Chinese, the USA and our closest allies (UK, France, Germany,Israel,Canada,Italy) would enter backing Russia, at that point china would demand all of our debt to them to be paid we with the backing of the EU would say no, and America with the best navy,air force and best trained army would first destroy any remaining Chinese navy vessels then attack China's China's mainland with carrier launched, by then, the new f-35c, destroying there air force, meanwhile or allies would reinforce the Russian army using mostly American equipment ( M1A2 tanks, f-35's, v-22's and A-10's) it will push back the chinese army, as the US devastate chinas maainland eventually it will end with Russia receiving much of China's north western territory, and America, as well as getting out of most of our debt, monitoring and creating a new democratic government in china.

The United States could defeat the Chinese Communist regime in a non-nuclear convention war. The size of the PLA (People's Liberation Army) is great and overshadows the United States, but the technological and overall superiority of the United States military far out shadows the Chinese. The United States have special forces that are trained to battle the enemy at a huge numerical disadvantage. Our military has the capability to deploy and sustain a military long military campaign in China. Also the United States has the best Navy in the history of the world, our super carriers and submarines have the ability to strike of 70% of the land of Earth from a distance with aircraft and tomahawk missiles. Also, what is the biggest component of the Chinese economy? Our companies there, if the those companies in the event of the war with China left for safety of their productions, the Chinese economy would collapse so fast and hard that the people would riot and the Chinese would be dealing with a Civil War along with having the most powerful military to deal with. The United States has the best Tank, the M1A1 Abrams, the Chinese have the Type 99 MBT which is barely on par to the M60 Patton. The US has the best naval with 11 carriers while China only has 1 carrier. The United States as drones and stealth bombers that fly out of the middle of the United States. Our special forces are feared around the world and have the capability to topple governments in days. So, the United States would win in a war with China, it also helps that Japan and South Korea would be definite allies and the UK, France, Germany, Canada and other EU members would help us as China is a humanitarian disaster that I don't know why is a security consul member.

First of all I think all of you are way far off... to understand this fist you must learn to understand Chinese ideology and culture. they first are not aggressive people by nature. second they are very patient people. and yes to seriously go by sun Tzu the art of war. like any country being invaded its only a common sence thing they will fight to the death. and some will coward out or some will defect. the army will split in half because most of them are forced against their will.. remember "tienamen square when the Chinese people protested and stood in the way of tanks. this issue Is why they don't invade and really they wouldn't have too... they would not invade us.. at least not out right. think about this if us go to war against china invade and all.. who else will line up with china Korea, Vietnam, Russia and Iran? now this is how stupid the united states is....

how many immigrants came freely to the united states? Since the late 1980s, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from China's Fujian province have been smuggled into the United States

Chinese cross into Mexico, they travel north and are smuggled across the border into America. Every week, 50 to 100 Chinese nationals are caught trying to cross the U.S.-Mexican border. Now with all of these who is who. who do we know is a sleeper cell or if all of them are peoples Liberation Army soldiers guiseing as illegal immigrants or looking for asylum? see we owe china trillions of dollars they already own California and florida. they don't want to destroy America or kill off americans that is too stupid for it is writtin sun Tzu to conquer a nation without a fight is far a greater victory than a thousand victories in battle... they need our resources and land. they will start from the inside of the united states to the outside and they are patient for 20 years they been building and working on their navy fleets. they don't need a good logistic all they need to come here with is rice fish and veggies until they start taking territories and lands then they would take all of our food from us to feed their armies but before they do all of this, it will be cyber warfare and media exploits trying to get the American people to turn on itself. they been doing this for years. and its working. they can slap the economy hard to collapse and so can we but we would have it harder than they because they are not stuck on their material things as we are which means we will bitch and cry to the government but to them the never had it good in the first place so it wouldn't matter. price of meat shit almost 5 dollars a pound already. water going up everything do Chinese worry much of stock market hell no... they got all the rice. and fish. so then the Chinese illegals will take control of all major airports when the time is right to let the rest of them fly on in while they probably coming also through Mexico and organ state which is the most vulnerable area in the united states.. all this with out a single shot.. see and heck it might just be given them they can invade with a million soldiers and still have 2 million for the second wave but we will take out and leave them maybe with a few hundred thousand people. they will not kill us off they need us to continue running the country until we teach Chinese how to run it we will be permanently slaves they will take away our homes give it to and car etc.... and throw their laws on us make us learn mandarin. this is why united states never think of invading china or vise versa why invade when they can just buy us out.. they will control us like they are doing Hong Kong. Now Russia will invade Ukraine and China wants to to be a powerful presence in the south china sea, and no for some dumb ass reason I don't know why Americans in Alaska want to succeed from the united states and go back to Russia.. No way not ever and then what Russia will feel them selves to be a liberator maybe an excuse for them to go into Alaska and take it... yeah I don't think this will be a good idea we may be able to beat china in a sprint but not in the 1 mile race. either side wont win anyways

It's not the size of dog in the fight but the size of fight in the dog. China, for the most part, is isolationist. With the exception of their immediate Asian borders as well as Pacific and Indian Ocean naval outreach they really have no interest in conquering and running France or Uruguay. Heck, they've been pissed at Taiwan ever since their revolution and yet little Taiwan is still plucking away right off their coast. That is not the type of military opponent that can defeat everyone.

Yes China can be defeated. To do so, first begin by limiting its economy power.

For the Western world powers or the Global stability,

1. Limit Economic power of Russia, India and China. (?) They are pretty closed and we surely not attacked each other if possible.

2. Deprive them of economic powers and no technological advancements will be made by them

3. Stop sending US companies to building massive technological projects in these countries. US economy downfall is largely due to China massive outputs due to cheap labors where most countries turn to China for production and in the end providing free technologies for them

4. With economy deprivation, focus on splitting their lands. Use all the pretexts and excuses you can come up with and split it up. Don't let Taiwan fall in the hands of China or more troubles will arise. Don't increase South Koreans technology as well.

5. If possible limit all exports on nuclear materials to any countries. USA should purchase them all.

6. Focus on the Middle East issue and not too much on the Human Rights issue in China, India or Russia. We all know they are crap.

7. Get as much oil from oil rich Arab or Brunei countries. How? Make them lose money. You can try war like Iraq. Send in teams to extract the oil out as much as possible. Create as much instability as possible in the country and don't let them get independence. Drain them dry in return for food and water but not technological advancements like weapons or computer systems. IRAN and PAKISTAN are big examples of that. IRAN is seeking weapons upgrade and PAKISTAN is seeking computer and technological systems upgrade.

8. Watch out for UAE, weaken their economy as much as possible best still to the rock bottom and also watch the big S: Saudi Arabia. Allies? Yeah right, you give them cash, they send terrors to your land. Not direct way though.

9. Now with oil secure and less economic output for oil with high input for oil then it is stable.

10. Yah Africa needs help but they spend time killing and piracy. Just get their resources out from this country. Too much efforts to help this country.

11. NOW back to the 3 countries issues: China, Russia n India.

12. Take them 3 out at the same time, will be suicide.

13. One at a time, start with India first, let Europe take down Russia. Slowly deprive India of Economic power and make sure none of their wealthiest get into any of the Forbes list. Guard well against their economy as Indians are good in bargains and businesses.

14. Once weakened, focus all out on China, India being poor now will have no threat and in due time can be used against China if needed.

15. China output production is SCARY LIKE HELL UNLEASHED. First target by reducing China products worldwide. Don't let US companies setup bases in China as technology will be lost or given free to China in this process.

16. Bycott China goods but not too obvious due to political reasons. Make sure the products from China in US markets are not selling well and due to that, will be returned back to China or goods are not up to standard or have safety issues.

17. Watch out for subsidaries companies as parental companies will bypass this weakness like the UAE bought the UK shipping company in recent which contain USA ports. That is a dangerous sale move for US and UK. US government should intervene and buy the ports of UK.

18. Limit the 3 countries companies from setting up too much in US or Europe

19. Now focus on creating political and cultural unrest in these 3 countries and step in to intervene using pretexts if possible.

20. Setup bases to monitor them but not to get involved too much. Also setup companies in their lands to drain resources.

21. Ensure all these 3 countries have no high or strong sustain economic status that is top priority. If you don't buy their products, money will not go into their accounts.

22. Without cash input, they will be using shovels and axes as weapons not bullets and rockets.

23. Finally, USA is way too layback tooooooo laid. In another 5 years time China will catch up with USA. India and then Russia.

24. This should weaken them for the time being.

25. It will be foolish not to think that attacking China and Russia will not get involved. So how? Russia and China and India which to attack first.

26. Try India first, India is the backyard of China and Russia. China is wary of Russia, so Russia needs to befriend India to safeguard against China. Russia has too many countries to guard against. Ranging from Europe to Middle East and China. Europe can guard against Russia along with Canada.

The disadvantages of high populuated countries would be food and water supplies. Too many input but too less output. Deprive them of this and you should end the battles in few months.

1. Attack India, destroy all their weaponary and bases disarm them with few easy tactics (not to disclose here) and India is under controlled and gone from history.

2. Now Russia and China will be shocked and will want to unite. How?

3. Another plan (not to disclose here) will make them not attacking USA but instead one of them will join USA. Likely to take Russia in as allies. Now China is panicking. The main warfront will be west and southwest of China. (Land) and the main naval front will be northeast, east and southeast of China. Blitz is useless in China land is tooooo big. Few tactics in here will sure conquer China (can't disclose here) but there is a hefty price to pay. Western parts of USA may be gone for good.

So it is possible to destroy not only China but also India and Russia for good. The main question is ???? AEONS OF LIVES WILL BE GONE. On the bright side, you will be crowned King of Saturns. But the world will be much peaceful without these 3 countries.

Japan beat them alone in a year in 1894 (first sino-japanese war)

Opium wars Britain and France beat china

A bunch of Mongol tribes beat china when they had 10 times the manpower lol

Now For the Infamous china vs USA. If a war was to break out it would be best for USA to be on the Defensive to to their larger and Superior Naval and Air forces. Although the Chinese navy is moderately sized they have less than half the ships the USN does (the Ratio for Air forces is even bigger) So the Us would try to destroy the Chinese navy then they could just blockade the entire country (my guess the naval war will last just over a year) and then the Us can just bomb the hell out of china to submission. Also reports from Chinese staff show that the Chinese Navy and Air force is almost 20 years behind that of the west and 5 years when it comes to land technology

"China's territory is too big"- the United States probably wouldn't be able to successfully invade China, but China wouldn't be able to invade the United States either. Invading another country with the intention of taking over serves no purpose in modern times.

"China can draft 350,000,000 people to fight"- do you really think that they have the resources available to them to be able to utilize that amount of people? They have no where near enough money to arm and ship out those soldiers to desired locations.

"China can shoot down their sats which most US military depends on deal a mighty blow to their force."- do you really think that its that easy to not only find, but shoot down one of the thousands of satellites the US has in space? Not to mention, they would have to shoot down A LOT of satellites in order to actually deliver a large blow to US communications. China would have to bypass American missile interception and later have to be accurate enough to actually hit the satellite, which is obviously extremely difficult. The US, with its advanced technology, had a hard time shooting down one of their own satellites, and that was just one satellite. Also, the US couldn't do the same with Chinese satellites?

"U.S jets would would not dare to fly deep into China airspace without getting shot down."- the Chinese don't even have the technology available to detect American stealth aircraft. Also, considering the different sizes of the two airforces, I think that its accurate to say that it would be much easier for the US to invade China by air, than China invade the US by air. The US has 18,169 air-based weapons. China has 1,900 air-based weapons. There is no chance for the Chinese there.

"China is increasing their sub fleet to be the largest in the world."- currently the US has 75 submarines and China has 68. I wouldn't consider buying submarines off of Russia a good way to make your navy stronger. The US is also continuing to increase their number of submarines at the same rate, if not at a higher rate, than China.

"They will defeat the U.S navy with subs fleet. China will not go head on with U.S in battles, they will do sneaky attacks to wear U.S down then defeat them in a dragnet."- considering that the US has more submarines and that probably wont change, it would be difficult for China to "do sneaky attacks." If you consider a dragnet to be the tactic of dragging a net across the bottom of the ocean in the hope of catching a submarine, then that is a really horrible plan. In terms of water-based warfare, China can't win since the US has over double their amount of ships.

"China will unleash their cyber soldiers to weak havoc on U.S systems."- oh ok.

Ok Bro... heres the deal:

"China's territory is too big" Chinese soldiers are based to fight in mountainous, plains and forest terrains which make them a big threat as they can serve all terrains while US. Soldiers are mainly desert terrain. They do not need to invade the USA but Leon Panetta said " The internet is the new warzone". They can still win.

"China can draft 350,000,000 people to fight" They definitely have the resources to support them. Why have no resources but a reserve contingent. Definitely worth thinking about.

"China can shoot down their sats which most US military depend on" First of all, get your facts right. The US does not have thousands of satellites in space. It is very easy to find them as each one sends out a type of signal which China can easily intercept. Once intercepted, all China needs to do is keep the signal blocked which is easy as we have seen the hacking skills China has. China does not have as many sats in space which makes it a lot more difficult to find them which apparently you did not think off as well.

"U.S jets would would not dare to fly deep into China airspace without getting shot down." Are you really sure that China does not have enough resources to detect stealth aircraft. First of all, China has stealth 5th generation aircraft as well and second of all, F-22 maybe stealth but the moment they open their bomb bays, the stealth is off and can still be detected. Besides, China's Surface-Air missiles are huge, as they have 21 types of them including some state-of-the-art ones.

"China is increasing their sub fleet to be the largest in the world." You have no proof that China is not increasing at a faster rate than the US. The US would not be able to handle China in their own territory and China's airforce, navy and army capabilities are increasing at a faster pace than everyone else in the world.

"They will defeat the U.S navy with subs fleet. China will not go head on with U.S in battles, they will do sneaky attacks to wear U.S down then defeat them in a dragnet." Doesn't mean more ships guarantee your win, with better tactics, one can still win with a few subs.

You fail to realize that due to modern technology in weapons, manpower does not have as big affect as it did in the past. China could never occupy the United States, because the US has the biggest and most technically advanced navy in the world. And, in terms of air force, the US has again, the most technically advanced air force in the world. China would get bombed into submission. With only 20% of China's population living in city's, it would be easy to wipe them out. The rest are substance farmers (Farmers the farm for only their own consumption). While the US produces the most food in the world. The US as well has arguable the most elite special operation units in the world. The Navy Seals have killed the most dangerous terrorist (Osama Ben Laden). They sniped the Somalian pirates, and saved a merchant ship captain. This proves their effectiveness, so the Chinese would actually be in danger because of special operations.

It would be terribly unfortunate if the US and China were to go to war, but it would likely be as a result of tensions over Taiwan.

A war in China would likely drawn in a number of world powers, like Russia, possibly starting a large engagement of the super powers. Clearly democratic world powers would have some technological advantages. But, instability in some of the communist countries may lead to foolish decisions and a nuclear exchange, which means everyone world-wide would be a net looser. So, for the warmongers out there, lets hope this never occurs. Research nuclear proliferation to see who has the nukes around the Globe. There are enough nuclear arms to destroy the entire planet several times over, and don't think this wouldn't happen given in the event of a nuclear launch by any country. Nuclear facilities in all countries are ready to launch within a few minutes of notice.

In terms of invasion, China has a big disadvantage on US soil. If they were to invade the United States, keep in mind not only technological advantages, but also that 50% of the US population is armed under second amendment rights. Citizens alone have enough weaponry to arm every US citizen several times over and enough ammunition to eliminate any invader many times over. Its not uncommon for a gun owner in the United States to have 5,000-50,000 rounds of ammunition. So, Chinese military numbers would be less an issue given large para military and militia groups that would rise up in such an event in the United States. Note that China has fewer arms, and its illegal for their citizens to bear arms of any kind. War with the U.S. would not be fruitful if it couldn't ultimately result in a victory.

The United States isn't interested in invading China and would prefer peaceful, diplomatic solutions. If the United States and allies were to invade, air superiority in China would quickly be lost due to simple numbers and technological advances. Any military tactician knows that air superiority is the key to winning a war, though at some point troops must hit the ground. While Allied military forces have been hardened in recent battles across the globe, street engagements in China would result in a long grind and very heavy losses on both ends. Don't forget the Chinese army is well trained and equipped with effective soviet arms. They clearly have numbers of people willing to die in defense of their country. A total victory for the allies would be questionable, especially given China also has allies, and the costs would be great.

Net-net, any way you cut it, such a war would be bad business for us all. Its better that we all get along peacefully, and create a world defined by cooperation, less war, and elimination and reduction of nuclear and biological weapons that are non-discriminating and kill women, children and noncombatants. Before you encourage war, picture your friends, father, mother, kids, sisters, and brothers dying....because that's the reality. War is brutal business and just creates fuel for more conflict down the road.

Hello sirius(366). I believe that it is not actually really smart for these to countries to go to war. I mean think of it for a second. We might have the technological support, they have the size of the people. THINK. These countries wouldn't go to war because if they did, both countries would lose an extreme amount of money, and even if they did the only way to settle the dispute would be between nuclear weapons. For example if America were to go to war with China, then China would stop the shipment of supplies to the United States. When that happens, then China would run out of money to support their military. When China cuts of supplies to America, then America's largest of buisnesses will suffer a great loss in money. You have to think of what you say. Most people think weapons win a war. But if you take a look, China needs money to fund their military and America needs money to fund their military. And also, when the buisnesses cannot afford to pay the workers, both countries got into a bankrupt situation. For example if America is in the Economy it is in right now, if we were to start a war, we would lose to the loss of money. I mean look what the war in Iraq and Afghanistan did to us. There wouldn't be just years of fighting. There would be at least a good 40 years of fighting beacause of the amount of people in China. They can double their population in a matter of 16 years. Think about it. And then when the two countries come to a time where they can't fight anymore, or because they've used up all their resources, then that is when they commense the nuclear war. Due to that, the world's resources will run dry because the US and China are huge countries. Remember weapons don't always help fight a war. Resources, Money, and Strategy win wars. Think about what I have said and please reply. I really don't think that these countries would want to go to war.

Also every single one of our airplanes, subs, carriers, and tanks can easily function without satellites; saying it would be a major blow is ridiculous. Our jets would be able to fly into Chinese airspace and not get shot down, dude we still have better stealth aircraft then the Chinese have stealth detection.

I have to agree with Sirius, the money it would take to afford the equiptment of the Chinese would be unbarable, trust me it is not easy making money it needs to be balanced. Another reason is China does not have any major Bases, Forts, Etc. around the Country for defence, the element of suprise is a major factor in war. We have major Air Fields and Naval bases in Japan for a reason, for any situations, the Chinese wouldn't be able to Counter-Attack in time. Another factor is the United Country's, a very big advantage because of the money that could be aided or Soldiers, Guns, and other Technology to back it up. Country's like, Great Britian, Germany, Poland, Austraila, France, Japan, Etc. that is why China wouldn't really have much of a chance. Also Chinese SATs won't be able to detect Northrop Grumman B-2 Stealth Bombers, Its capability to penetrate air defenses and threaten effective retaliation provides a strong, effective deterrent and combat force well into our century.

Sure there may be your oddball, 6' chinese, but either way our Basic Training is probably much better than that of the Average chinese soldier. Along with the best guns, it would just become a huge massacre like in north Korea a couple of decades back.

True China has large land mass, 40% uninhabitable but still large. True also they have a very large population but your figure of drafting 350,000,000 is way off, you must not include: elderly, disabled, sick, children, most women. This greatly reduces your number. The US has over the last two decades focused on 5/1 principle, that is our technology of war machines of all kinds can equate to 1 Stealth Bomber equal damage 100k troops could employ, Air superiority would be won by the US within one month. Once we controlled the sky we bomb the population down by half within 4 months, and if we wanted to we could just continue this until China gave up or lost all of it's population. No need for ground fighting in this type of war; as we would not want the territory Just the end of the governing body. China has been hyped over the last decade and is no where near the hype that is bestowed upon them. We could crush their Naval forces within 6 months, and the Air forces within 1-2 months, with Air and Sea superiority they are left with just being bombing targets unable to stop the non-relenting bombing of US forces from the air and sea. All of China's war machines are supped up Soviet era equipment, they do have a few newly Made in China war machines but 1 generation compared to the US 7 generation...It no match. And as far as flying deep into China Territory truth be know we do it now what makes you think we could not then? Stealth my friend and nobody is even close to our technical advantage in that arena.

China is advancing in missile technology coping up with USA. However missile technology is going obsolete in years to come. USA is fast progressing on laser technology. in five years time it would be available for military use.. Littoral combat ships that are stealth. Three are operational and a dozen to be constructed. Gerald Ford class AIRCRAFT CARRIERS. There would be 10 by 2050 costing 12billion each... One more thing in conventional war. 9 out of 10 Americans owns one or more guns.

maomao... First off, US has the biggest navy (in tonnage) in the world. Even bigger than the 17 countries behind it, including China, Russia, UK, etc. Second, China uses Russina MiG29s, those will not last long in a fight with the stealth F22s. The F22s can lock a missile from 3 miles away, than fly away knowing that the MiG will be shot down. The MiG29s however, cannot lock missiles onto our F22s, hence term: stealth.

Houston...Firs off, China's ASBM's will make the U.S navy sitting ducks. The ASBM's is base on ASAT weapons, if they can shoot down SAT's, it can sink the U.S navy. The aircraft carriers and most U.S surface ships are useless against ASBM's. In a sea battle the carrier will first be taken out by ASBM's , then U.S navy will have no protection from air. The China sub fleet will finished the U.S navy by picking them out from under. China have lots of old jets which will likely be outfitted with drone technology and used in the front lines as a kamakazi type assault, then the newer J-11's and fighters will follow behind to finished the job. The death during the GLF was a combination of failed industrial policy and mother nature ie. drought, floods, plague, famine. So it's not correct to say Mao kill all those people intentionally, he had good intentions to bring people into the modern world but his miscalculation cause the unfortunate deaths.

Saying "can any country defeat China" implies a 1 on 1 battle.

I say no.

Yes, US has a major task force and army that are more advanced, but it won't wage war against China because of their massive economic dependence on China.

In that retrospect, China does not need to invade US, it merely has to call in the debt and collect it's paycheck of (oh how much was it?) 772 BILLION from the US and put them into a depression immediately.

US is WAY too economically fragile at the moment to deal any major wars against such drainers as China.

Third off, if anything, the US has set a world record by being the number one weapon buyer in the world and its china who is so economically challenged.

Others have tried, namely Hitler and Napoleon. History shows the result.

As far as Russia and Vietnam go, Russia is not the enemy of old and would probably receive support from the west. Vietnam at this point in time is coming under the mantle of western protection.

Finally the PLA may be the biggest army in the world but they are not battle hardened. The army's of the west have been doing the real thing for over a decade.

Ofcourse China has 2 million active soldiers, where as America as 1 million, China can draft another 2 Million as America can draft another million.

no country in the world can occupy china its just to much land and ppl the U.S. might be able to hold it for a year or 2 tops the chinese r stubborn ppl they will resort to guriella warfare

china is spending way more then it ways it is on the military roughtly about a few billion more plus with technology sent dwn to us from our friendly neighbors the russians our technology is almost there to the U.S. just not as much of it lol

china has invented a new land based missile nickname the aircraft carrier sinker the missle was tested and is operational........the U.S. currently has no way of stopping the missile

you dumb americans think that all these countries will team up with you while in truth not many countries will........india and china have become very gudpartners and everyone knows the sino russian alliance and trade has been great for the last 20 years......did i mention the russians dont like the U.S.....so in the end the only countries teaming up with the U.s. would be the U.K. canada and maybe one other country while russia is sure to back china wanting a stab at the U.S. the middle east would also be on our side as well as korea.....india remains undecided if india does decide to attack the chinese can handle them with a ground force of over 300 mil and india being rite nxt to china would mean transportation is not much of a issue...the middle eastern countries would also attack india if it came dwn to it...........and if you wanna talk about a nuke battle im pretty sure russia has thousands of nukes more then the U.S.

"a fact is in about 10 more years china will have enough trade with outher countries to suppport itself without the U.S."- nope. The United States has the largest economy in the world. Even with immense growth over the next ten years the Chinese would still need to trade with the US to be productive.

"china is spending way more then it ways it is on the military roughtly about a few billion more"- the United States currently spends almost 7 times what the Chinese spend on their military.

"our technology is almost there to the U.S."- its not even close.

"china has invented a new land based missile nickname the aircraft carrier sinker"- what about the American submarines that will blockade China? One thing is for sure: it will be easy to destroy China's only aircraft carrier.

"you dumb americans think that all these countries will team up with you while in truth not many countries will"- actually, more countries will probably side with the United States than China. You see, there is this little thing called NATO, where if one member country is attacked all 27 other countries in the organization declare war on the attacking nation. The United States is a member. And you call Americans dumb?

"india and china have become very gudpartners"- India hates China. US relations to India was said to have slightly worsened when President Obama stated that he would like to increase relations to China.

"everyone knows the sino russian alliance and trade has been great for the last 20 years"- Russia really has no choice but to stay neutral or be on the side of the United States. It would lose almost every trade partner if it decides to side with China. Since NATO members are its main trade partners it really has no choice but to not side with China.

"the middle east would also be on our side"- Turkey is a NATO member, the United States is the main trading partner of Saudi Arabia, Israel is a very good ally of the United States, and Iran would definitely be on your side but the other countries could easily counter its attacks.

"as well as korea"- South Korea is much stronger than North Korea and it is also an extremely good ally of the United States.

Plus you always have the b-2 that would be days in advance of any fleet looking for the platforms to launch said missile thats why china is trying to make it fired by a submarine but first they have to make the sub. so its still at the least a decade off. and the only other countries that could hope to invade are India,Russia, and Japan yes Japan!!!

At this moment in time, I don't see how it is possible for anyone to defeat and invade china. Besides the fact that they have the biggest population, Chinese are very patriotic people, their military spending is increasing without worrying about having debts, both military and non-military technology is increasing rapidly due to stealing of foreign technology.

China's relations with Russia also improved greatly and they see one another as allies against a common enemy: USA. Prior to the 90's, there were over 1,000,000 troops on both sides of the border between Russia (Soviet Union) and China. However, today Russia and China have military maneuvers together. Just last week, a pipeline was built that brings oil from Russia to China with two more pipelines planned in the near future. Furthermore, they share military technology and thus decreasing military spending which in return could be used on expanding the economy of both countries.

Although the quality of military technology does matter, it definitely is no guarantee that you could win a war. There is no better example of that than Vietnam, Afghanistan (Both US and Russia), Iraq.............

One way that for example that countries such as China or India could win a war would be to have 30-40 million of their fellow countrymen to simply surrender to the US/Russia/UK or anyone with a mighty military and simply say "I surrender!" What are you going to do? Kill 40 million? No. Feed 40 million? No...what options are left?..........

For those who think that China could not survive without the trade with the US forgets to realize that there is the other 99% of the countries with which China can trade. They are already doing that by increasing trade in Africa, Europe, Central & South America. For example: US company offers a product for $100, but China offers the same product for $50...it might not be same quality, but penny saved is a penny earned.

China should not be underestimated. For me personally, I realized that something is just not right when the biggest capitalist country (USA) started to owe money (around $2 trillion currently) to the biggest communist country (China).

The only solution that I see this to be resolved is to bring back jobs to US citizens, stop being a world police, decrease military spending by a large percentage and use that money for economic purposes...oh, and make lobbying illegal so that some big corporations cannot decide our foreign policy......

That is just the thing. If China goes to war with anyone it won't be a single nation. There hasn't been a one-on-one confrontation in centuries.

That great labor force wouldn't do much good in a long term war. If you bomb factories, fuel depot's, ports, railways, etc. you can take bites out of their economy and military production.

Another factor people forget is experience. China hasn't fought anyone in years. In fact I guarantee they don't have enough weapons & supplies to support all those millions of able-bodied men.

I'd like to say a normal no, but the concept of a "war" has changed drastically in recent years. This debate would have been better if their was a goal to the war like take over japan or exterminate the other side or militarily dominate the other country.

Realistically if there was all out war it would just be nukes so there wouldn't really be much of China (nor other countries) left.

If it was a conventional war assuming nuclear weapons didn't exist, I'd assume that Americans goal would be to conquer and turn China into a democratic country similar to what it did (or at least tried to) in Vietnam, Iraq and others.

In that scenario the USA would probably fail, with the huge population of China as well as a pretty solid nationalist population, which would resist foreign takeovers. USA could probably easily destroy most of China's navy and airforce with much ease. The hardest one would be the army, the large army even if badly trained wouldn't be easy for any army in the world to defeat without sustaining heavy losses.

I'm a brit, so i feel that my view on the usa vs china is probably more fair than most other contributors. firstly, i think that in conventional warfare, china would probably dominate the usa, on the grounds that their population is over a billion people, and they estimate that they have already 700+000000 soldiers fit for service, with millions of reserves. contrary to american beliefs, i dont think the PLA is paticularly untrained or ill equipped-there are an estimated 120,000,000 AK-47's alone in the world, and many more can be made (china has an ak47 variant called the type 56), as well as the fact that china makes its own weapon systems (eg qbz-95). Of course this is all dependant on what the strategy for war is-who makes the first move, invasion, annihalation etc. I dont think any LONE country could invade china, but defence against an invading china may be easier-home turf, ambushes, traps etc. on neutral ground, i would be leaning toward the sheer bulk of china against all nations (usa has 600 million less personnel, japan has 660 million less, russia 610 million less).

I would agree with the fact that your average Chinese infantrymen is better at asymmetrical warfare(ambush,sneak attacks) things like that,plus they are probably better at long range raids then their American counter parts. But U.S. infantry is styled as shock troops, heavy infantry whatever you would like to call them. And historically when heavy/shock infantry meets light,skirmisher infantry the sheer weight of the shock units win out. Now granted China does out number U.S. but if you break the fight down to fire-team on fire-team 2-5 man groups a single U.S. fire-team has more weight of shot then does a Chinese fire-team. Think HMS Victory vs a couple of small brigs or sloops maybe even a frigate. This is due to communications, targeting systems, and still knowing how to read a map(I know crazy, but yes U.S. Infantry can read) Not to mention a crew serve weapon of the U.S on average out shoots the Chinese equivalent (240-B vs RPK family of machine guns) Then you have to get into tanks and other weapon systems. And this is where America will make the most gains. We all know at the out set of WW2 the biggest thing that set the German panzers apart so well was the radio and a die-hard will to push forward(mobility) well the U.S. would be able to hit the Chinese army in so many places an mostly at will with over-whelming fire superiority and that is the reason I believe America would win on the ground in a Battle. A war depending on regional or strategic would have to be fought in the Indian ocean due to the fact that machines need oil and no modern army can fight with out it. So there would be a drawn-out naval chess game there (why do you think America supports Taiwan) so we have a supply-base gas station for air-power and an open door into China's Jugular(oil from Mid-East/Africa) same thing would happen to China as did Japan and i don't think China would put up as good a fight as Japan did in WW2 either simply because they do not have the reserves of ships or the navy in place to deal with a long war. China has some(by some I mean very small, have to look very hard to find) hints as to their plan to dislodge American Naval power and to prevent them from closing the Oil shipping lanes from the Mid-East and Africa its called the Pearl-Defense Network. And if they get it up NEW GAME China holds the cards. But until then I do believe America would win do to the ability to choke China of oil. Another good point about the numbers thing 1991 Gulf war, Falklands of British vs Argentina. Another reason is Farming yes I know what the hell does farming have to do with war? Well its simple the majority of China's farm-able land is near the seas and the farms are stressed to near breaking points to keep up with feeding the population. Its a bad enough situation that China must import soy to feed pigs and grain to feed chickens which have become corner stones of the Chinese diets. Now where do they get those from I've read/heard a few different number but on average they say 60-70% of the imports of soy and grain come form America, and the figure of how much they import is about 40% of what they use yearly. So after looking into it a Regional war or skirmish if you will I think they would win. But a prolonged lengthy war we would win. If the war starts in the next decade or so. After that who knows But most likely someone would launch a nuke and that would be game point good-bye have a nice day.

Close your eyes get five friends and you stand ten feet away from them so you dont know were they at an let them throw rocks at you from all different angles, they would tear you up with them rocks to were you would bleed, yell out from pain, cry then most likely give up and say you stop, you quit, Thats what it would mostly be with america air force over china! I mean what other country that have planes flying themselfs with no humans in them, I mean just look at the military channel, and keep in mind this what america is showing you, Do you have sense enough to think about what there not showing you? usa is ages beyond china with there military and missiles,come on ya'll know better then that, ya'll know who the top dog is when its comes to that stuff, America, If you dont think so then u you outta touch with reality, As far as the Debt usa owes china, what are they going to do make usa pay, no, hell no, an no again, last i checked the dollar is more then the yuan. so stop with that debt ish, I read two comments from the two brit that was funny to me, they said that china would beat the usa, How? dont you know America tells the brit what to do, Since wwI ,so who do you think will be right there fighting china too,If usa was to get in a war with china, the brit? Because ya'll do what america says, and to say im wrong u would be lying to yourself, ask the queen an the prime minster.. playa they will tell you what it iz,lol, Now back to china, we have our military all over ther world so we can attack china from all angles, and we have the resources to do it, and the muscle, usa technology is just too much for the china, Just keeping it real, It a war did happen it would be 3 to four years American Victory, and america would make them surrender on china land meaning america would defeat them in china, Notice i didnt say anything about china naval military, cuz china naval military is horrible, they would never be about to invade america they dont even have the means nor the muscle to.

Guys have you gone nuts?! It is impossible for a country to invade another country. This is because the U.N.O. would never permit that. If a country invades another country, then the they will have to leave the country the very next day and if they don't want to leave then all countries who are U.N.O. members can wage war upon them. Well I am an Indian and I tell you that Chinese army is extremely weak. It is even backed off by India. In the Indo-Chinese war , even when India was just developing , the Chinese lost but they would never want to express that to the world so they signed a peace treaty with India , the fucking Chinese !!And people should also realize that the U.S. army is the weakest army. While most countries appoint military men who are strong and courageous, the U.S. army only depends on technological advances and if an Indian soldier were to fight an U.S. soldier one-on-one, the victory would surely be the U.S. soldiers' because of his weapon, but if they were to fight with nothing at hand the Indian would easily knock down the U.S. guy in one blow.

It is a great mistake in the past when American government who regarded with China only focused on Soviet Unions with the Cold War, and no mention with China. Do you remember in the ending of 20th century, China only used bicycles on the whole country because they are afraid of earth warm with CO, but that time, they concentrated all the money for the fishy purposes in the future, but most of the countries on the world did not think about this. Now, they accumulated a lot of money and they have become the second rich country just behind the U.S, but America is in debt with China. They fought the U.S about the economy in order that the U.S gets weaker about this, and the U.S. only focuses its budgets in the country without mentioning many things on the world. Therefore, China is easy to do everything they want like recent crisis on the South China Sea.

On the 21th century, China also uses ancient policies by occupying the territory of the smaller countries so that they immigrate their Chinese People to. For Example, Burma, Vietnam, Ukraine. As their proverb: " any place there is the grass, over there, it has Chinese people."

If China wants to attack the southeastern countries to occupy some or all the islands on the Partly relate to Philippines and Vietnam, because the amount of oil and natural gas there is so much. Moreover, they can enlarge their navy not only in Pacific but also Atlantic to replace the power of the U.S navy or at least, they also want to divide the influence with the U.S. Sooner or later, the third world war also will happen to China, because they make a great deal of complication on the South China Sea, and the largest threat with the world.

Anybody also recognizes that weapons of American military is number one, no country can compare with the weapons of the U.S.

If the war happens between the U.S. and China, I believe that U.S will win because the U.S has NATO and the southeastern countries, even India also dislikes China with some the border wars in the past. To make a peaceful life for the human-being and to avoid the bad results later on, how to separate China into many smaller countries as well as the Soviet Unions did.......

What many of you fail to realize is that much of our weapons and equipment are made by China. Not only that, but China itself is still technically a communist country, so if they wanted to, they could create a draft and force as many people into the military as they want. They also are bound by NO Patton laws, so not only have they copied much of our technology but they get away with it. Just a few months ago they produced a new jet that was awfully similar to one we put out a few months prior(that's because it was exactly like the one we made, but instead of English the labels were in Chinese). I hate to say it, but not only would not stand a chance, but we would get obliterated.

Anything is possible. But if China's miltary performs as well as the products they make, it would be a very slim chance of winning any war. They would probably forget to change the oil in the tanks and break down, ect. That is also under the assumption that no other countries would go against China as well. If there was another war of that scale I would say it would be China & Russia vs the world, good luck.

On their own, no, but if China attacked a country such as the US, Japan, or anybody in Europe, other countries would ally with them. If China theoretically attacked Japan, the US would attack China. When this happens, the UK would attack China, and the rest of the EU would follow. Because of this and other alliances, the US, Japan, the EU, South Korea, and Australia would likely be at war, and they would win. But, if all of these countries were at war with China, China's allies such as Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Vietnam would join the war. When Iran joined, Israel would likely use this war as an excuse to attack Iran, at which point Syria would attack Israel. When this happened, the rest of the Arab League could attack either Syria and Iran or Israel. It could go either way. It would be like the Cold War + WWII. It would likely end in a nuclear war, with neither side winning.

Im sorry but there are soooo many mistakes here. I heard US has the most nukes? Russia doubles them with 4,000 (they used to have 44,000) and that US, Japan, and Russia had around 600,000,000 personnel, but none of them have that much population. But if i had to say on who would win, it would be neither. It all depends on Russia and India (from a geographical standpoint). In one on one China already proved they can take on the us without even one tank during the korean war by pushing the us from near the Chinese border to the middle of the country when they both called for a treaty. But if this is a massive war Russia and India will have to enter, and if they choose to side with the US then China will be surrounded and almost tripled in numbers. You all forget, in personnel, Russia is only a few 100 k's away from the US. if they choose to fight against US than they will be on the defense ( Russia might have to defend against the EU ) until the US will lose too many lives and pull out ending the war (The Chinese and its allies will not get very far if the send for a land invasion against the US but a sea war would be inevitable).

I think this would most likely fail in trying to defeat China, China has people power and money wouldn't stop them from doing so there way's is different to the west if they really wanted to take the US they could easily do so, money is everything to the west and its how most of the west sees things everything costs or has a dollar sign written on everything around them and its why things slow down because its costing us the mentality of money, wealth & Greed.

To the Chinese if it came to war Money would have very little meaning to them at all if it came to a war, they have already got people in every country to just follow orders and boom things would start rolling however I think China has no interest at all in invading other countries there interests are themselves an that is all if they discovered another planet no doubt they would most likely take the first step an that opportunity to move there entire country there. And it would be foolish to take on China it would be far to risky not just for the US but globally. They have already got Economic power over the rest of the world Currently and that is there take on war right now so wars of the future will be completely different to the ones that most of us are so used to be seen today.

to be honest an awful lot of US technology has been 'stolen' from other country's and also china are in a much better economic stance to have a major war than the US, a lot of people are forgetting that china's allies such as India and North korea which will gladly support china in a war, US allies mainly focusing on Europe and SK would not be willing to engage in a conflict.

Brazil which has a growing global presents has gained close ties with china depends on china for its economy and so would almost certainly send troops to china or america,Africa has debts to pay to china after major development their by china.

a little prediction on what will happen if U.S.A and China go to war with each other.(I AM NOT SAYING THIS WILL HAPPEN)

U.S.A's options

1. nuke china- if they do that all the stuff they buy will have to come from somewhere else like India, Russia or Japan. BUT India will be panicing due to nuclear radiation. i doubt Russia will help because of the Cold war and i think Japan is still annoyed about the end of WWII

2. invade China- this brings up lots of problems like where are the troops going to land and in a country as crowded as china I doubt they're going to get around without being seen.

3. call on Europe-most of Europes in debt at the moment and most countries there are angry at U.S for ripping them off during the war.

4.invade China by sea-this is the most successful one so far but someone is bound to spot a giant fleet of warships across the pacific ocean and anyone in Asia would take offence. Soon the U.S finds the whole of the the East arming themselves and preparing to attack.And with most manufactured goods come from Asia the U.S.A find themselves with nothing.

wtf you obviously aren't a person who knows much about chinese history. CHina by the 13th century lead the world in technology by 2 centuries and the size of china was much larger because they had conquered many other nations to get that land. For many years india, korea, mongolia and japan which china discovered had all payed tribute of gold every year for protection. The reason america never loses wars is becasue they always use bombs to blow the area up and then use a few people to pick off the remaining soldiers. Just like in the korean war. The americans bombed chinese fortifications every minute. the chinese used gerualla warfare to win many battles. it's because of the chinese people and soviet weapons that north korea didn't fall.

And despite my disdain for all organized religions "ISLAMIC" terrorism is a loaded term. It is just terrorism using a religion as their scapegoat and using a religion to influence the week and stupid.

It should be "INSERT THE RELIGION" terrorism... or just "terrorism".

You don't fight it by blaming a large group of people and saying "all the stuff you believe is evil!"
