Who would win a war between China and the USA?

[Anonymous]

I have war addiction.

If there was to happen a war between China and USA who do you think will win?

[Pterodon]

Right now USA would but under biden that’s starting to change unfortunately. Obama severely damaged our capabilities. He allowed China to have naval superiority in the China sea where 25% of the worlds trade occurs.

[Iron_Man]

🇺🇸 USA

A limited conventional war, definitely the US. Our forces, technology, and tactics defeat a large Soviet-style military any day of the week, easily. It would be similar to us wiping the floor with the Iraq army (as China has similar eqt. and structure- despite their fancy copycat tech prototypes). However, if it was a protracted conflict then China would have the advantage. Patriotism in the US is at an all time low, and the people are weak hedonists who couldn't struggle like we did in WW2.

[Rosexøxø]

Wars with strategy and weapons? Usa

wars just to make a crater-like mess on the planet?

probably China.

We have the means, but America is smarter to not just blast rockets on our own soil.

it’s all our soil when we consider the fact we all share one floating rock…

none else like it so…

if we truly shit this up…

no one is gonna be happy with the radiation of the sun burning our skin off.. 😍🙂

so if China is kamikaze depressed and suicidal they can just ask for a trip to space to do so-

they should really not be stupid and mess it up for the rest of us, who like to live.. 😒

[WindAtMyBack]

There is a strong home field advantage. It's extremely difficult to carry out a serious war across the ocean. Having said that, I think the US has a better chance at war in China than China has at war in the US. I think the US is better set up for overseas wars than China. They have a lot of global bases, plus have much better control of the oceans, which is essential. China has a fairly large navy, but not the type needed to control the open seas and carry on an overseas war.

But either one would have a VERY hard time trying to beat the other on their soil. It would be devastating for both sides, but especially the attacker.

[RavVid]

I think the US. I presume we are talking about over Taiwan or in support of Japan or South Korea.

It is pretty had to anticipate how well China forces would perform. We have to assume an air/sea war as I doubt the US would consider army forces. There has been a lot of hype on hyper sonic missiles etc but as it turned out with Russia their hypersonic missile is just a rocket.

There are also serious limitations with hypersonic flight in the lower atmosphere as there is the issue of burning up from friction.

It is in the interests of China to boast up it forces. It is also in the interests of the US military to do the same to get more funding.

In short I dunno but the US is more experienced.

2 world most powerful countries would be horrific if they clash there is a reason why they are tip - toeing lol. If one is so stronger than the other you wouldn’t ask this question right ! That’s why you are wondering because they are both powerful: I believe China is a big country and they are loyal to their own country they are also diverse but yet considered largely homogenous country that matters so much. Also they fight without having any benefits at all. In the US it’s more like oh if you go to war you get a food stamp and your kids tuition covered 3k per year. They buy you for a sausage price. In China is for pride reason if they go to war. Anyways
Most likely China is in favor however I can see US win too since China military it’s not been tested for years. I mean it’s ok whoever you chose we are currently ruled by China if you haven’t noticed so they will be overjoyed to hear it’s them.
Time to warm up or social credit

Our * social credit

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Dead or alive, I'd rather not see that day.

If it became inevitable, I believe the USA will be victorious.

[Anonymous]

That's not very specific. First off who initiated the attack. And was it full scale. Because in the modern sense a full scale war between China and the United State there is no real Victor. This is why proxy wars are fought. Right now The United States has the technological advantage. But at the rate China steals secrets that won't be for long. Navy wise the United States has China dwarfed. And the United States would flat out OWN the sky in any aerial war. The only real advantage China has at the moment is it sheers numbers. They could send wave after wave like cannon fodder against us. And this is primarily why the United States doesn't want to fight a war against China. 1. It's bad for business. But 2. Why Unite the Chinese against us? China's internal strife is thier biggest challenge. China will always have the same problem every communistic society has ever had. Freedom is a basic human right.

[exitseven]

The US still had the best military and best weapons. China has billions of people so they outnumber the people in the US. If everyone in China were to jump up and down at the same time it would generate a tidal wave so big it would destroy the entire west coast.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Americans are heavily armed, the Chinese aren't.

[Msputiton]

Oml I'm dyin🤣

[DaisyM23]

mmm i think MAYBE america? i mean china would ally with russia, north korea, maybe india and perhaps other non-western countries whilst america would have most of Europe but yeah... in terms of power and resources maybe they're both equal and neither would hold back too much too so i'm not sure

[BeMuse]

America. The USA knows it. China knows it... Thus why China is trying to conduct an information war against us and utilizing subversion and corruption to try to obtain their goals. They have already lost though and it's going to be a costly mistake for the CCP.

[Berethor]

Both have nukes so no one would win a direct confrontation, china is better at fighting islam.

[purplepoppy]

China has a far bigger military than the USA and if they call on North Korea for support that swells even further. But the bigger army doesn't always win. What counts is can you afford to replace lost equipment and troops plus does the general population have the stomach for large losses. If America is to win they'd have to do it quickly, history shows they struggle with long wars.

[Miristheiss]

It depends on where it was, the objective, element of surprise etc.

China couldn't defeat us here and we couldn't defeat China in China.

So where is it?

Probably Taiwan. It is hard to say. Taiwan is so close to their coast. That's a tough call.

[Adaeva]

Most likely, they would call a truce or they both lose. Also, it may depend on when; whether now are in the future. Some years ago, when asked, What can China do about the USA, China's reply was nothing YET.

[sage2021]

I would have to say China. Didn't they get a lot of USA'S weapons after the war in Afghanistan ended? Like 85 billion dollars worth of our military equipment that Trump bought.

[inhua]

USA has the technology. China has the infiltrators and propaganda on their side. the propaganda is doing a great job at taking down the USA already.

[Surely]

I am afraid that no one would win. It would probably turn nuclear because of the size of the Chinese army verses the size of the US military.

[Anonymous]

Define victory? The US can't successfully invade China and vice versa. The US can beat them at sea. China could take Taiwan but it would cost them. In a conventional war the US could flatten the Chinese infrastructure, navy and airforce.

[misogynistic_pig]

The United States would win, which, apart from the United Kingdom, is the only country that has a global military deployment.

[captain_voidwalker]

Usa. Even if the US military eas thanks snapped out of existence there are 100 million gun owners in America. If just 1 % resust the Chinese thats 1,000,000 combatants they have to deal with. For comparison the US military is about 1/4th that many

[OfMiceandMen]

Trick question, nobody really wins a war, both sides suffer.

[Hassan_8]

If the world somehow survived I think it may be China

[northerngal]

No one would win... the entire planet and civilization would lose.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

USA, no discutions.

China will only be able to scrash the armor of the USA army and nothing more.

[AngryCarl2]

Fighting with what? Intercontinental missiles? Both sides would lose. That's why it won't happen.

[LiamJHayden]

The Chinese business interests will topple their government to save their $Trillions in trade,

[loveslongnails]

NO ONE would win... all the people on the planet would fucking lose.

[Fuentes]

US, China is like Russia weak af

"Cause we don't need NO COMMIES, hanging, hanging, hanging around!!!"

[Aerissa_Jade]

I was going to say the same thing, the Chinese would just send people to be slaughtered (Like Russia is doing in Ukraine) then hope to win by simply outlasting.

They might even consider it a great way to lower their population some.

[Fuentes]

@Aerissa_Jade lol yup since they hate most of there population haha they can all get to smacked up they were weak during the Korean War too and they could barely even keep up with Japan in WW2 and haven't fought any big wars in years actually I still see them as weak & just a ocean of people who would die.

[boobliker]

I would like to think they can talk more and make-up before ti gets to war

[collie22]

That would be a lose lose for everyone involved

[Anonymous]

The USA would win but china goes to war economically via enslavement.
For instance they are drowning African countries into debt to have control over their resources in the future.

[Guardian45]

NO ONE!!! EVERYONE (The WHOLE World) WOULD LOSE!!! BADLY!!!

[This_Is_My_Opinion8]

There would be nothing but ash after. Both are nuclear powerhouses.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

LOL... China is a big P. O. S. America will f*%# them up.

[Timid-guy]

None cause they would annihilate each other, fortunately it will probably never happen because the chinese are very peaceful and beta.

[Dargil]

The United States military would prevail.

[msc545]

Nobody wins wars anymore.

[Rosexøxø]

True.

Just people’s rate of agreeability, or the lack of it, and it gets idiotically based/ decided upon the amount of deaths and essentially how close

The person with the gun comes to the “leader” of the country. As they wouldn’t want to die themselves. That would result in a surrender or if they’re in the right they would die trying to be free; etc.

People have no need for wars these days.

I don't know what those dudes are thinking.

[NamerOfStars]

Russia.

[Asker]

Russia can't even beat ukraine

[NamerOfStars]

Of course they can- winning a war isn't just about wiping an army off the planet; if that were the case, the USSR would've ceased to exist during WW2. The influx of enough money and weapons to destroy a small country has kept Ukraine fighting, but they can't sustain the meat grinder of their citizen-slaves for NEARLY as long as Russia can.

But my point is that Russia doesn't HAVE to fight in a war between the US and China- they just need to stay out, and then they can pick up the pieces of what's left of the world once all of the rest of us are dead.

[Rosexøxø]

Lol I don't know what you’re getting at, but that’s the only reason Putin attacked.

They have minimal resources, or he’s bored and wants more.

They would be the first to go if everyone stopped trade with Russia because all of their country products are poor quality.

Only the Russian dolls 🪆 and the Kremlin are of artistic and materialistic quality.

…

Some could say USA isn’t the giant anymore but neither is Russia..

All their materials are old and poorly built.

They want the functionality of Ukraine which only got to where it did from resources, a mentally strong leader, good people/ citizens, and fair allies to trade with for gains and profit.

No matter if Russia took Ukraine itd make no difference-

They messed up Ukraine with their poor bullets

They’d do so with the resources and all that Ukraine worked for and at the end of the day

Have a few extra miles of Russian wasteland…

He’s gotta get his brain screwed on right

And learn to ask for help if he needs that not be a bully

AND

Not to think it’s just okay to take what other people have and worked for.

He needs to work himself and make something of Russia-

Not just grumpy cold men and bears.. like what?

What even is that…

[NamerOfStars]

@Rosexøxø What it is is a consequence of geographic realities: the distance between Warsaw and Saint Petersburg is essentially indefensible plains. As Russian economic infrastructure in concentrated enormously in the west, Russian leadership is inevitably going to be somewhat militaristic in character; it HAS to, lest it prompt war. Putin knows this. What he doesn't seem to realize is that a return to Russian glory CANNOT be built atop a mountain of skulls.

[Rosexøxø]

I don’t know anything about Petersburg or Warsaw so feel free to see that as your ticket to close my comment off.

I see Russia as a whole. I look at him.

I look at the people and the condition of the military.

I look at the action.

I recall the general history of it.

It’s a poor country.

You confirmed and agreed to this by stating

Geographic realities. You may mean whatever country size and mass or access to shoot somebody

I. Don’t. Know.

I know that their land geographically is bad, and they want Ukraine who has many top 🔝 of the chain resources.

I say the bear is hungry and like the polars with the melting ice caps

He wants to move in on Ukrainian Sea lion 🦭 turf.

If it’s all glory related he’s gonna die and never see the glory of Russia

Because I’m Russia’s past they starved during wars and their warmed died and the leader was paranoid

Russia was never glorious

If it’s land domination and

zero land cultivation

The world is filled with idiots

And he should go back to playing with lego lands dominance

Instead of:

Real world.
Real People.

You can disagree

I know Zelenskyy would agree with me.

I’m not off in what I’m saying.

I think he was really really stupid to make a move like this. I really do.

[Rosexøxø]

Because In Russia’s past*

Their war men died*

[sage2021]

Russia could probably beat Ukraine but Ukraine gets 100 billion+ dollars and military equipment to fight Russia. Where would they be without America's help?

[Asker]

@sage2021 Good point

[BJP21]

China would give us a run for the money.

[Dav1dTh0ma389]

We're more powerful but China has more people

[In_Trance]

Depends how the script is written

[Anonymous]

Hopefully we will never find out.

[La_isla_bonita23]

China would win for sure.

[joeldalton]

USA.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Nobody.
