A war with China could possibly happen if China invades Taiwan... the USA has pledged to defend Taiwan were it to be invaded... either we back up our threat or we are seen as globally weak.
If China invaded Taiwan and the USA either declared war or pledged immediate military aid, what would China do?
Send missiles into: Japan, Philippians, and South Korea. They would do this before the USA had a chance to mobilize troops, aircrafts, or naval vessels.
Domestically, China invasion of Taiwan would cut off the chip supply for computers to the USA since most of our chips come from there.
Second, China would engage in a cyber war on all the social media platforms in the USA, sending out misinformation and creating distrust. This would further divide an already divided USA.
War in the South China Sea would not be easy for the USA since it is on the other side of the world, and the logistics of moving our military to that area would take a little bit of time. China could mobilize their entire military to immediately overwhelm what few troops and assets we have in that area.
The USA would be at a disadvantage immediately even though our military is more powerful.
Our military is not strong enough to completely destroy China, so they could attack again.
Meanwhile the US economy is in a state of CHAOS and there are no guarantees that our GLOBAL FRIENDS would help us out.
