What would happen if US goes to War against China?

Question

Provide me facts, militalry in particular.

Answer 1

it would never happen because china is eventually going to own the u.s
no joke china has been buying not stock but the other thing that has to do with the federal debt and they practically own
a part of the u.s.
and second the population of china has little to do with winning or not because thats just the average person that works in some office or factory

Answer 2

WE WON'T! Come on, you know how much the US buys from china on a daily basis? I bet if you look at everything your wearing right now, at least one item was made in china. China would not want to go to war with us, because there economy thrives off us buying their stuff. All those contracts they get from US businesses to make their goods cheaper in china than here. Never mind the fact that we could destroy most of their military capabilities by air before any troops go in than when we take out a chunk of their troops from the air we would send a massive ground force with naval bombardments. China would never want to go to war with us for the simple facts of our military power & we buy a lot of their stuff or use them to make a lot of our stuff. Not to mention when we go to war with a country we sanction the bajebus out of it so no one else can trade with them. It would be bad for china & bad for the US.

Answer 3

Should the present relations with our respective nations devolve into open conflict it would be difficult to resolve miltarily because to support offensive elements in theater would be exceptionally challenging for the scope of supplying armies abroad would then be logistically improbable .
That said , this war would only be contested in regional conflicts/disputes over , primarily , the material resources essential to prolonged war , e.g. P-O-L(Petroleum-Oil-Lubricants) , metal ores , etc . . .
War in the Clausewitzian sense is an extension of politics and without diplomatic recourse would have a high degree of probability of becoming a nuclear war ; and then the whole dynamics of continued warfare would be an obstacle that may not be overcome .

Answer 4

WAR with China = War with Russia.

Answer 5

Depends on how it plays out.

Let's assume here that China is invading the US and neither side is using nuclear weaponry, tactical or strategic. Here is an extremely oversimplified timeline of events.

D-Day Minus 90:

3 months before, China begins intensive training for their miltiary force. US sattelites see this, units are recalled to the US and Japan as part of "regular troop movements". A carrier battle group moves into the sea around China.

D-Day Minus 30:

China begins to mobilise troops. US Strategic Forces are put on alert. Dimplomatic talks begin. USAF YAL-1 Airborne Laser begins "scheduled testing", based in Japan. Fighter and AWACS Squadrons are moved into Japan. Units in the US go to higher readiness. US moves a second Carrier Battle Group into the sea between US and China. Submarines move into the sea near China.

D-Day:

China declares war, launches non-nuclear missile salvo from Chinese mainland. Several missiles shot down and cities evacuated thanks to long warning period. Hundreds of thousands-millions of US citizens killed. US launches missiles from Ohio Class SSBNs and SSGNs near Chinese coast, targeted at airfields, ports and large cities. Fighter Squadrons scramble to intercept Chinese troop transports. Remainder of Chinese air force devastated by vastly superior planes and pilots of the USAF. Broadcasts sent to all Radios and TVs in China by US, all planes and ships are to be kept on the ground and in port or will be destroyed.

Back in the US, the President is evacuated and contingency plans are put into place. Broadcasts issued to civillians. Everyone goes to their local gun store and stocks up. The US now has the largest militia in the world.

China is effectively contained. Regardless of the strength of their army, their Air Force and Navy are infinitely inferior to those of the US and thus cannot transport invading troops.

Answer 6

Everybody might as well commit suicide.
The US could probably do a lot of destruction with bombs. Maybe they'd have a chance to send a few nukes our way, but then China, with a billion people, and the US, with about 1/3 the population,
how could the US follow up the destruction with occupation or restructuring their leadership a la Iraq?
It would be a real mess, and who would finance the war without the Chinese?
Let's not elect any more warmongers next year, and try to clean up some of the mess and be peacemakers for a while.

Answer 7

The president who began the conflict would in all probability be faraway from workplace by using the yank people after their urge for nutrition for conflict diminished. The conflict already began even though it extremely is interior the realm of economics, commerce etc.

Answer 8

it wouldn't happen because China is important to our economy. The President wouldn't event do that. Politics and Economics go hand in hand.

Answer 9

You ask for "facts" on an imaginary war?

Answer 10

Well, after several years of vicious fighting the Chinese would be just about ready to fold up and surrender when the Liberals would gain power in congress and try to surrender to them.
