I know China has overwhelming man power but tech wise they are way behind a NATO force led by the US.
China doesn't have much if any stealth technology and their navy is known to be abysmal also do they have long range capabilities on their war heads? It's only Russia that does and it doesn't mean Russia would side with a Chinese led force in war with NATO, in the late 60's the Soviets came within a hair(allegedly) of using nukes against Chinese troops in border skirmishes in the now Stan republics.
China in this era was quite hawk like and had border skirmishes with India too and led to a bizarre alliance between democratic India and the totalitarian USSR. This alliance also had a double headed defense with India and the USSR being allies against the puppet controlled Pakistan which had a series of military led governments that were perpetually overthrowing corrupt civilian led governments but had US military hardware and moral support.
So you seriously think the U.S. and its NATO partners (satellites) could muster an invasion force, and travel to China and try to conquer China? That this could be done politically and logistically, even before all Western economies were shut down??? Could you imagine President Trump (or Biden or Warren) trying to rally Americans behind a universal draft in order to mount a multi-million man (and female) invasion force to go halfway around the world to take on a country with 1.6 billion people that has a formidable military both in conventional and nuclear terms? And that might be able to count on Russian help. And that great alpha male Trudeau doing the same in Canada, Merkel in Germany, Macron in France, etc. Somehow I think snowflakes (and everyone else who isn't suicidal) won't be too eager for that assignment.
War with China is inconceivable. The U.S. and the West built up China technologically over the last 40+ years so that corporations could profit and it's too late now to think it will be intimidated into submission. The only way war could happen is through nuclear attacks, which would mean the end of civilization. And yes, China has hundreds, maybe thousands, of nukes that can reach the U.S.; it's not North Korea.
