any military conflict with china is purely hypothetical.
1) china has more fodder (infantry) than any 3 countries combined.
2) china does not have the navy or air force to mount any invasion of the US.
3) chinas Nuke armament is about 10% of the US
the US
1) would never mount an invasion of china because of lack of ground forces
2) would spend most of its time dealing with the chinese submarine force
3) more would be gained economically by diplomatic relations with china than ANY show of force
The only possibility of actual armed conflict with china is if they were to instigate armed conflict of any US ally in the region.
