The Chinese would get their asses totally kicked. They are combat virgins and would be facing the deadliest, most battle-tested military on the planet. All it would take would be to have the USS Ohio/Georgia/Michigan/Florida SSGNs pump 100 Tomahawk cruise missiles into the Three Gorges Dam and China is crippled.
It would be a repeat of '79 when the Chinese tried to invade Vietnam and the battle-tested NVA kicked them back to China with their tails betweed their legs.

The Chinese, if involved in a war, wouldn’t follow any rules or restrain themselves. They might not be experienced, but for all we know, they might very well win. Unlike our politicians, if in a war, the Chinese politicians wouldn’t skimp on supplies and support. Our troops would very likely end up dead in far more massive numbers and civilians would get attacked here as well.
