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.
