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.
