ORIGINAL: Timotheus Militarily, China is a great regional power. USA is a great global power. Where would the (God help us all) hypothetical conflict take place? Anywhere away from China's coast, USA wins 100:1 Close to China coast... say.... near Taiwan... with swarms of missiles launched at American carriers? I dunno. But would such a conflict even occur, given the global punishment the US would be able to inflict upon China? I doubt the USN would risk such an engagement and instead just do something like, "OK, no more sea trade for you." I mean, I guess we could always start the war. There's no end to human stupidity. But it would be highly unlikely.
