who would win in a war between USA and China?

Question

Inc all possible allie involvement and economic factors

Answer 1

no one we would all be losers

Answer 2

Replay the Korean War? At that time it was the UN who forced the stalemate, but it was a close run thing. The allies had expended so much of their resources, energy and emotions on winning the race war in the far east between the allies and Japan that the thought of a re-run on the Korean Penninsular really was a hard task to tackle. It was not the North Koreans who nearly won. It was the newly established communist state of China with its vast, fanatical army that pushed the UN back to the sea at Pusan. The US had the bomb then, but was afraid to use it because the Russians had the bomb too. So, if you believe history repeats itself, study Korea and update your thinking by factoring the lack of enthusiasm the US had in Vietnam in the 70's, the fact the UK government refused to back the US in Vietnam and the effect on the Pacific Rim. Factor in the newly militarist Japan, the Australians who have access to the bomb, India and Pakistan who would not allow China to dominate the immense natural wealth in the region and the expanding Iran. Whatever happened, it would not be fought on Chinese Territory. I reckon Taiwan is a flash point. Look out some Tom Clancy books that have dealt with just that scenario. He's pretty good at describing the political and military build up in the region and the weapons each side has. Worth a look if you are really interested.

Answer 3

There can be no winner in that type of war. China is a sick, fascist state that is borderline suicidal in its evil. The goal (the OFFICIAL policy) with regard to China has been to normalize them to the extent that the doctrine of MAD works on them. In other words to make them just a little less crazy to the point that they care if they all die in a war with us. Ten years ago they were so crazy that they really didn't care one way or the other. They were so crazy that their ambassador to us told us ten years ago that, if the US interfered with their invasion of Taiwan, there would be a nuclear war that would probably result in their losing 90% to 99% of their population but would cause significant death in the US....and they were just fine with that outcome. Ten years is not such a long time ago.

Wars are won when the good guys hurt the bad guys enough that it is too painful to continue being bad. In the case of China, they are so dedicated to being bad that they are willing to accept extermination rather than give it up. How can you win that? You can't. This is the reason the US pretty much avoids confronting China on anything. If we get pushed to the wall, we will have to wipe them off the face of the earth. But, we are VERY reluctant to do that for reasons that are obvious to anyone who isn't a sociopath. But, the threat of being able to do that isn't effective.

To answer your question. If such a war were to happen. The US would kill every single living thing within the borders of China. Maybe half our major cities would cease to exist causing significant death in our own country. However, we would quickly recover and remain the dominant military and economic force in the world. In essence, we would win and win decisively. But, that doesn't matter because they simply don't care. The fact that we would crush them doesn't have any leverage over them because they are nuts.

The muslims are even worse. They are the same way but they would actually be happy about it. The chinese don't care either way really. But the muslims think nuclear Armageddon is a positive thing. They would all happily die to the last man, woman and child if it meant hurting us just a little bit.

Answer 4

The "ants" would win by being one of the few surviving creatures left on Earth; assuming Nuclear Weapons used.

Take the Nuclear Weapons out ... and the USA with bombs like M.O.A.B. (Mother of all Bombs) would take out most all of China's visible military operations --- but the cause of war would determine the force that used, and where war is waged. The next question is what caused the countries to go to war ... OIL, Genocide, Women, or Land???

If Oil were the treasure sought, well, it would be a battle that the Middle East would suffer. The two Superpowers wouldn't be fighting at home, but rather meeting in the middle (Middle East).

Genocide ... well, war would be fought wherever the ppl who didn't like other races/religions/values. It could be that the Chinese decide that all non-Chinese need to be eliminated, and the war would come the USA.

Women ... It is well know that the Chinese have population control, which allows them to have one child per family. This has resulted in the killing of many baby girls. Eventually, China will suffer from a shortage of women. It is already seen in countries like Cambodia, Thailand, and Philippians that the Chinese are looking for mates out of their country due to the diminishing quantity of women. At the same time, many Westerner men are intruding into the supply that the Chinese are looking for. Here we can see a potential of denial into other Asian cultures, harming business commerce and forcing a minor war with China winning by keeping from Asia & their women.

Land ... again, who ever felt they deserved more land would determine where the fighting, and casualties would be at. Genocide, business commerce, and women may also play a part into why the land was sought and who had the most desire to win.

Answer 5

I don't think that we would ever go to war with China. Being a huge trading partner, China would never risk losing billions of dollars. Also why hasn't china taken over Taiwan yet? We have the AEGIS system there the most advanced tech in the world. Can track over 100 targets at the same time. This system is used by the US NAVY. If you think about it WAL*MART is financing their military. PLUS we owe billions of dollars to China (trade deficit). China needs McDonald's and Pizza hut. They will get sick of Chinese food eventually.

Answer 6

Most definitely China, they have a higher population, that would mean more man power, even though the one child policy- (pretty much the massacre of female babies if you ask me..)-is in affect, also their advanced technology, and their nukes. I think were screwed if that happens. What is really worse though, is that Americans made so many enemies, that it wouldn't be only China fighting us, it would be alot of the other countries. Although it would take alot to make China mad at us because we are great consumers of their product and if we go down so do they-because their economy partly relies on us.

Answer 7

If nuclear weapons weren't involved I think it would probably be a very close thing. Of course the odds of nuclear weapons not getting involved is in the minus figures, so it wouldn't matter because if they used nuclear weapons against each other they could both potentially win and loose by wiping the other country out completely. Oh and co-incidentally destroy the world for everyone else.

Answer 8

China could probably be quite a formidable opponent. They have a large population as well as nuclear weapons. Though industrially they are somewhat behind the United States, they are improving rapidly. If we were to attack them, like now im assuming you're asking, we may lose. Other countries surrounding them would also attack us out of anger/fear, such as Russia or India. Also, Chinda might last longer since they have so many more people. And they are also very disciplined as a whole. America has a very strong military and years of experience being a world power (since after WWII). I don't know why we would go to war with China, but I think it would be very stupid, they are getting quite strong.

Answer 9

excessive question? -Nimitz service, powered with the aid of nukes. no one interior the international has something close to it (basically a million u . s . - France -has a nuke-powered service and it is not even close to the Nimitz). the US has TEN. -F-22 Raptor. maximum stepped forward airplane interior the international without equals. -Apache Longbow. maximum technologically stepped forward chopper interior the international. the subsequent u . s . has approximately 3 hundred of those. the US has greater beneficial than a million,3 hundred. the US owns the seas and skies. in case you very own the two considered one of them you do not might desire to fret relating to the land however the US nevertheless has the wonderful land rigidity with the aid of far. the US has greater, greater beneficial, and greater stuff than China or each physique else. AND the US has the wonderful allies: uk, Australia, Poland, Canada, and so on.

Answer 10

On the ground China superior manpower. Tech weponry USA, then again China is not far behind the west in the tech department so it's a close call.

Answer 11

USA will win the war in a non nuclear war, they might destroy china's military might with high tech weaponry. but.. they will end up 1000% worst than what happened to them in iraq. imagine trying to control 1 billion chinese? how much would it cost the U.S. just to police the area? and that if china's old warlord generals wont use nuclear weapons on U.S. soldiers once they step on chinese soil.
