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.

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.

Imagine if instead of all those ships, rockets, and aircraft, the Chinese would have invested heavily in small hardcore cadre of die-hard arsonists who start fires in California each summer. Cant't the Chinese learn form the Japanese fire baloons of WWWII? Just saying...

Glad I wasn't actually drinking my coffee when I read this.

Assmetric warfare:

Russia: pays Mexican gangs to smuggle as many illegal Latinos to Southern California as possible to enlist them in as many EBT/section 8 housing schemes as possible to bankrupt California social services.

ISIS/Saudi Arabia: pay US homeless to move en masse to San Francisco to urinate/defecate in the streets 24/7/365, so the whole city becomes unlivable due to bad smells.

China: pays Chinese diaspora to get out more from the now unlivable SoCal and SF, and roam NorCal starting as many outdoor fires in woodland areas as possible. NorCal becomes unlivable

I know you're being tongue-in-cheek, but public benefits (with the exception of emergency services, which includes emergency shelter) require documentation of legal residency.

Why San Francisco on the second one? Why not, say, Chicago?
