If America fought a war with China now who would win?

Answer 1

They need to watch less MTV and read more go to the US Army War College. China can deliver a nuclear blow, as well as, a man power blitz. In October 1950, China entered the Korea war and kicked our butts. They dared us to drop the atomic bombs on them. They knew their population was so large that for us to be able to put a dent in it would have caused so much atomic energy to have been expended the world as we knew it would have ceased to exist. Well, they have even more people now; we would have a hard time using nukes on North Korea, as due to their proximity to South Koreas we would be killing an ally. The North Koreas rolled over the South in 1950 but would have a harder time this time but would prevail. Japan has a non-aggression Constitution but I believe they would have to come to the aid of the South. If not and the North wins and eventually rolling over Japan. I don't think American could stop them this time, too much political correctness plus bog brother China. No, North Korea would not be someone anyone should wake up! Oh and by the way, our defeat and China winning would have nothing to do with our forces being any where else. As the CIA tried to tell every President from Truman to Regan, you can have a superior ship or aircraft but if you have three ships, firing at the one or five jets to the one the many will win. For example, the CIA and NSA now are admitting the new diesel class sub by the Russians; North Koreans and Chinese are as quiet as our Nukes. The only advantage of our nukes running longer.

No, only kids, literates and that bunch of professional losers believe that garbage of aggression. Have you ever wondered why China is everyone friend and why everyone in a political situation listens to them and takes their advise?

God Bless You and The Southern People. Happy Holidays!

Answer 2

Right now we would, 10 or 15 years from now...that is a seperate question.

We would win now because we are technologically and nuclear superior.

China has the largest Army, Navy and Airforce...They almost have more people just in their armed forces than we have in the United States. Our technical prowess will destroy those numbers though. Saddam insane had the fourth largest army in the world. Old t-72 tanks and even su-27 fighters are worthless against the elite fighting force of the United States. We just better hope our inventory is enough for the amount of targets.
The strategy and air superiority is untouchable at this time..., but remember they stole almost every piece of technical data through their spy network and tomorrows china will be much different than today's...hopefully, their society will become more social and democratic when they learn it is a better system.

Oh yeah they only have like 30 or so missiles that can hit the United States with nukes...How many do we have? Like ten-thousand + and we have the big boys 25 Megaton (destroys 40 mile radius) for strategic destruction not just the tactical 1 kiloton (destroys 1 mile radius) and thats just about it folks! Let's hope it never happens the only significant threat to us at this time is still russia and some of the former soviet republics, they have those 25-30 megaton bombs in large numbers too, and it only takes about three minutes or less to reprogram them to hit targets in the US. That whole thing was a propaganda ploy.

Answer 3

America vs China would at some point (when one country looked certain to win) turn nuclear.

And nobody wins a nuclear war as both sides would be devastated

Answer 4

The US ...and I don't think it would take long, hell, anywhere you toss a bomb- you're bound to hit at least 20 of them.
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE GUY ABOVE ME!!!!
He puts it clear for us.

Airpower alone could damage China badly enough to freeze the military, naval bombardments would cost China HEAVY casulties, plus if they popped off nukes...we have a fair chance with systems in place to drop them out of the air, all the while killing them conventionally...constant carpet bombings, constant naval bombardments...they wouldn't have a fight left after a few weeks of this without giving up, or launching nukes at us in desparation.
Think carefully if you think China could beat the US militarily on any soil, rational thinking is real thinking, and this would be the facts. They could inflict severe damage, but in reality it wouldn't be long before a smoking crater would be what was China's military.
Be real.

Answer 5

Answer 1: The invader will lose. Although both countries can use nuclear weapon, eventually they will meet face to face, either in USA or in China. Then the one who protects its country will win.

Answer 2: Neither. If the two super power starts a war, the entire world will be involved. Pretty soon we human beings will be all eliminated.

Answer 6

Whose battleground? This would be the key decision in making out a victor. United States would not be able to achieve control in China's sphere of influence, but a battle there would be very costly to both sides. Outside of Asia, China does not have the ability at this time to cast its forces to spheres around the world, United States does. I am sad to say a no holds bar war would lead to Nuclear Weapons but if it was conventional it favors china. Mostly its a contest of quality over quantity

Answer 7

What is wrong with you people. Both are nuclear powers, their has not been a war between nuclear powers for a reason. It would mean THE END OF THE WORLD as we know it. Millions of people will die and the Earth may not be capable of sustaining human life at all. So, if the human race was extinct who would you call the winner?

Answer 8

Again I see people listing stupid answers. The United States of America would destroy China, and there would be nothing they could do about it. Except Nukes of course but we would just blow them away with ours (and ours are bigger and better) Don't forget, we almost have our missile shield ready (3-4 years). China has no capacity to invade America. We, however, CAN. And regardless of China's numbers, we would just cluster bomb those bastards back to the stone age. They wouldn't know what hit em'. American : planes, tanks, bombs, missiles, submarines, aircraft carriers, satellites, stealth bombers, the MARINES, the NAVY SEALS, CLASSIFIED WEAPONS, NV-G's, daisy cutters, bunker busters, JDAM's , it goes on and on and on and on!!!!! Don't mess with America. YOU WILL LOOSE IN AN "OPEN" WAR... not a reconstruction/peacekeeping operation like Iraq. A REAL WAR. Where we don't sacrifice American lives to save their civilians. I'm talking about a WAR. KILL EVERYONE. A war like that with America? Is suicide. Plain and simple. The entire world, coming at us at once, could not defeat America

Answer 9

The Chinese People's Army would win hands down. Sheer weight of numbers. They could put two million men in the field every day for a week and still have plenty more in reserve.

This happened in Korea in the 1950s. The final score, not a stalemate = China Won we Lost.

Answer 10

If America starts the war, China would lose because America has enough firepower to destroy the world mulitiple times.
If China starts the war, they would still lose because after America is destroyed, the Allies would turn on China and reduce them to nothing, along with their allies.
Even though China has billions of people, they would not win, even in a land invasion, just because of the nuclear weapons we have developed.
