China vs America

The answer from bossman has 0 tactial prowess. The United States would win this war. Fought in China or the US.

1.There is no country better then the US at fighting a standing Army or an insurgency then the US. Though it seems failed, we destroy Iraq's standing Army in 11 days in 1991 (at the time Iraq had the 5th largest Army in the world) and our lessons since 2003 have taught us how to fight an insurgency better.

2. If the war goes nuclear they would not touch our shores with missiles. The highly successful AEGIS missile defense system and our THAAD missile defense system (which has not failed in testing)would mean very few or no missile would hit any US city. Even Honolulu, which has a THAAD system in Pearl Harbor. China does not have a missile defense system nor does Russia.

3. Our equipment is head and shoulders better. Here is a list:
a. Our navy is far superior to China's across the board. Also we have Air Craft Carriers and China doesn't.
b. Our cruise missiles are highly accurate, effective, and better then China's
c. All of our Aircraft are better including helicopters, bombers, and fighters.
d. Two words "Stealth Technology" (1 f-22 has reportedly been able to engage and destroy up 16 f-15's without being engaged)
e. Our vehicles are better. We have armored troop transports like Humvee's, Stryker's and Bradley's. China uses trucks.
f. The M1A2 Abrams tank is the best in the world. Easily topping the Chinese Type 99
g. Our soldiers have better/more secure coms. Our soldiers use highly effective body armor the chinese do not.
h. Our logistical support is much better due to our airlift capabilities.

4. The US is still a much bigger economy then China. Debt has nothing to do with it. In war we wouldn't care about the debt owed to China. They do not produce any of our weapons so that would not effect war production.

5. The US has actually fought in recent wars, China has not, making our officer's and NCO's better prepared for combat then the Chinese. We also have very effective quick strike and tactical capabilities with our Air Assault trained helicopter forces and our Airborne units.

6. If it was an all out world war and it came down to allies the US would still prevail. Assuming China's allies would be Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, some middle eastern countries like Iran, and some small countries here and there. The US would have all of the western European countries like Italy, France and Spain, as well as, countries with amazing air forces like Great Britain and Germany. We would also have Canada, Israel (which are great fighters), Australia, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, India and some small countries here and there as well. Looking at the "us vs them" thing. I think the "us" is much better.

Those reasons alone allow us to win but like everyone says it wont be good for either country. There is no reason for us to fight China.
