If it came down to it, without nukes being used by either side, it would be a logn fight, but no different than Desert storm was, simply longer since there would be more targets.
China has huge manpower, and fair technology, butit6 does not have the ability to supply that tech to all of it's troop.
This means you have a small elite force with good tech, and a huge amount of cannon fodder (flashbacks to desert storm again anyone?)
In aisa, china would be dominate, until/unless we could get a decent staging area, and a good supply route, without that we'd lose to them in ground warfare.
in the air, sea, or anyplace we had good staging/supply, it'd be a shooting gallery, poop them up and knock them down.
china brags about it's billon man army, hell it can't even feed it's population, how's it going to feed an army of that size, with no supply structure, on the move through hostile territory?
within a fair distance of it's home territory, china is a very large threat, outside that range, it's a blustering blowhard, very much like it's cousin N. Korea.
If it came to nukes, they'd launch first, we'd launch in retaliation prior to theirs landing, we'd be hurt, but china would cease to exist.
they might be stupid blowhards, but i don't think they are stupid enough to to commit multi-billon number suicide.
