This scenario is utter nonsense. Our subs would literally sink every Chinese ship that is blue water capable within 5 minutes. We would have total air superiority within a week. The next generation artillery that Rummy cancled the Crusader for would leave their tanks smoldering ruins. It would be a massacre from that point forward.

This holds up for the next 20 years. Then where are they going? By then the Japanese will be up to speed, the Taiwanese and South Koreans are tough as nails, the Indians (who have a surprisingly decent navy), and the Eastern Europeans will have caught up and have forward NATO deployment bases. The Chicomms will collapse by then.

If they were smart, they would strike now while we are preoccupied in the midle east and before the Japanese ramp up.

That isI believe, or was during the clintong years, their intent. They may have missed their 'window.' Bush may have loused things up for them.

Perhaps we are not as 'preoccupied' as they and most of US perceive.
