he U.S. Army’s Pacific theater strategy has long maintained that it does not plan to consider a land war against China for a number of key reasons.
First and foremost, perhaps most obviously, deployment would be a problem. How could any kind of mechanized land force, with the requisite expeditionary capability, mobilize for some kind of large-scale land assault on the Asian continent. Where would there be a staging area? Possibly India, a major U.S. ally, could offer some kind of option. Abrams tanks, for example, need to be shipped, deployed, and prepared, as do larger infantry carriers, howitzers, and other weapons systems. For this reason, the U.S. Army has based its approach on the prospect of joint-attack options with force concentrations possibly launched from Japan, Australia, allied island areas south of China, such as the Philippines or South China Sea area.
Furthermore, China is known to possess a large mechanized force along with as many as one million ground soldiers, a scenario that clearly presents a threat like no other in the world. Then there is the issue of China’s rugged, mountainous terrain, making it almost impossible for larger mechanized forces to advance.

Remember Korea?
With the correct strategy, China is easy to defeat.
Who the hell is talking about invading China?
For what reason?
What a ridiculous idea.
Damned the Democrats and their endless wars.
No disrespect to you RomanSoldier19
As for the authors content
Thank you PLA for the propaganda piece, what a bloody laughable psyops bit of emu dung.
Who the hell wants to invade China?!? Let the damned chicoms keep, isolate them and they’ll kill themselves off eventually. That big dam they built doesn’t look too stable, maybe they could move the party hq to the base of it.
Maybe the Chinese people will finally have enough and end the problem themselves.
No American son or daughter needs to be sent to die in China. Flipping ridiculous.
Red herring for breakfast....
Why not do what we did with the Soviets?
Have them spend themselves broke!
2. We shouldn't advertise to that opponent that we don't have a spitwad's chance against them - if we don't have that capability.
I don’t know about easy but a bunch of other solutions would do the trick..
I think one of the main things we should do is cut them off from Western Capital Markets, especially Wall Street...
No Chinese companies listed in the NYSE, no Chinese companies allowed to issue credit thru Wall Street, etc...
For their economy to operate, they need US Dollars, cut off the Dollars and kill their economy....like you said that would be easy and really effective.
For this reason: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Agree with both.
I also think the only reason we’d be rolling into China is to support the coup against the CCP and the breakup of China into a dozen different autonomous countries.
In a word, tariff.
...but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line...
Because we keep buying all their shit. So how will that work unless we quit buying it.
OK, then, how about Finland?
We need articles about invading Leichtenstein, too.
Why not articles about invading Australia? If we’re going to annex some country why not one where we can swap BBQ recipes and enjoy the beer?
Save the articles about invading China for after our overdue invasion of Cuba, which is at least within innertubing distance of Key West.
Tariffs. Lots and lots of tariffs. Then more tariffs.
