that we would lose a war with China should the Chinese achieve ultimate victory.

And our industrial capacity still outstrips the Chinese, especially considering that so much of their economy is trade-based.

And I didn't say we should go to war with China. I only said that it was extremely likely that we would win. It would be bloody, yes. It would be expensive, certainly. But we would win.
