[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overwhelming force from 7th fleet. Chinese loses so large and embarrassing leads to revolt in China and overthrow of red Chinese [/quote]

So assuming no Nuclear exchange?[/quote]

What countries in the world today and even in 10 years can mount an invasion with a sizeable force of another country over a large open body of water?  Answer -- United States.  There is no other country --- not even China that has the air lift, ability to control skies, boat lift, and ability to control the seas.  And the ability to resupply for months.  China can't do it.  To mix things up it is a bridge too far.  As the fleet came across it would be hit by air (planes, cruise, and drones), surface forces, and submarines.  The landing would be contested.  Resupply would be painful.  Also on day 1 -- the entire Chinese navy except patrol boats would be sunk.  They could get air control for a time but by week 2 the US would control the skies and then no boats or planes would make it.

Nuclear?  Can China do anything?  Air and Sea 90% chance we could contain.  Could their land based work?  Maybe.  But blow up your biggest customer on which your entire economy depends?  Maybe but not likely because our response would work.

If you invented a perfect set of conditions where they could take it out in 2-3 days then maybe.  But that is not a real.

They will not move.[/quote]
