We are still the world’s largest economy. We spend more on our military than the next ten nations combined, and that money buys some terrific weapons. Additionally, our soldiers are better motivated and far better trained than any in the PLA, a force of terror and intimidation.
But, they will take heavy losses, both in terms of personnel and equipment. So, if we want the answer to be “can America defeat China in a war?” to remain “yes,” then we need to make further investments in our military. We cannot be like the British Empire in World War I or II, where they had a small expeditionary force at first, and losing many troops would be disastrous.
America needs to invest in its shipyards to it can repair vessels quickly and build far more of them, both for cargo transportation and for fighting. We need to train more troops and expand both the Navy and Air Force; buying more submarines, destroyers, bombers, and fighter jets. We need to sell the best and most dollar-efficient equipment possible to Taiwan, Japan, India, Australia, and South Korea so that they can fight China too. Missile defense against both cruise and ballistic weapons must be expanded. And, of course, we need to improve our cyber-security and cyber weapons so that we can defeat China in the cyber realm.

Not with Biden as President. One of the first things china will do is take over Taiwan.
Not if the “President” sells us out and hands over the country
Si. asymmetric war.
Kai-Fu Lee at the edge.com haughtily claims the Chinese data collectors are way ahead of ours. He likens them as “Chinese Gladiators”. I don’t see it...unless the Mao-lovers...er co-conpirators take over the republic. Then, it’s prolly probable. Too many politicos in bed with CHYna. FangFang is not a “honey pot”. She’s just doing business with her allies. CHYnafornia is practically a suburb of CCP. If Western civilization starts a counter-offensive on CCP CNP - Comprehensive National Power, the CCP will fall apart like a chinese made children’s toy.
Along with CCP enemies within and their “business partners”

No way now that they have elected Cheatin’ China Joe.
He’ll preemptively surrender.
Military doesn’t matter when China can simply buy us out, outright.
Here’s a related question: If China started a major war, all of its lucrative foreign trade would stop, immediately. What would be worth that loss?
With hardly a shot fired.......
Seems like with Biden on the cusp of being installed, albeit fraudulently at that, China appears to have already defeated us. Sad.
Don’t forget Spaceforce & other weapons.
“What would be worth that loss?”
Having 300 million American slaves to build crap for chinese consumption.
The answer is they already have- last November.
Good question.
How many Chinese sports shirts will they sell at Walmart then ?
Nuclear armed nations at war. What’s not to like?
With Trump? Undoubtedly.
With Biden? That POS would just invite them into the White House. Added benefit - with the succubus there, the Chicoms will get free you-know-whats.
Don’t worry. If the coup succeeds, Xi JinBiden will ensure plenty of spending on the military, mostly on good from the ChiComs. They are our friends after all! </sarc>
A war with China would be absolutely insane, beyond hell on earth and would last forever, no way we could win against a country with a population of 1.5 BILLION I don’t care how much more advanced we are militarily. How are you going to take a military of about 1.5 million and control 1.5 billion people? Look how long it took to get a handle on Iraq and Afghanistan which is still effed up.

It's like real estate: What matters is "Location, location, location."
Land war in Asia? Maritime battle in the Caribbean? Land war in CA? Taiwan?
Location and scope (limited/unlimited escalation) matter.
This is why they interfered in the election, with their Democratic Party friends, to subvert the 2020 election. It’s about Expanding militarily and blunting the US response until it’s to late. Biden was an important piece of that strategy, and the Democrats only lust for power and money.
In the article, the author includes a number of allied countries. Noticeably missing from that list of allies in the Pacific, is Canada. Sadly, I must agree. With the Maoist Prime Mistake firmly in charge of Kanadahar, I would not consider the gubmint of Canada as an ‘ally’. Unfortunately, it looks like if he called an election, he would be re-elected. My fellow countrymen are an embarrassment.
