>>11641475>>11641477Here's the issue.
Chinese equipment is inferior to American equipment in basically every category.
Our tanks can beat their tanks, our planes can beat their planes, so on.
The problem is, in order for us to fight them, we need to be able to get men, equipment, and cargo into the theater.
They've spent all of their money on ballistic missiles in order to make it harder for us to do that.
So at the outset of a war, they hit all our ports and airbases with DF-15s, DF-21s, and DF-26s. Probably blow up some expensive shit in the process. And they just keep pegging US bases in the region over and over again to slow down the US reaction.
Meanwhile, our naval forces are dealing with ballistic anti-ship missiles, diesel subs, and mines. Not enough to win outright, but enough to bloody us and slow us down.
So we could probably win over the long term, but it would take a long-ass time, and kill a lot of Americans.
