Their military is primarily land based

That's why they are making them.

An invasion of the US against China would be hard to succeed, and the casualtied would be pretty big.

And why they are manufacturing islands.

they could have a massive boost of any sort of vehicles if they wanted too

But China can't stand a chance

the amount of factories can be reverted to war economy if they wanted

Against NATO.

IF Russia joins the game, then it's a stalemate

I dont know

Russia has a strong military and air force

To think that they have no chance at all would be admitting defeat.

And navy as well

Overconfidence will cause leniency.

"Russia has a strong Navy" ok

Are Russia and China together really equal to the USA?

they are decently up there

And Russia wants China as an ally

China doesn't think it is worth it yet.

why wouldn't China want Russia as an ally

Because China's economy can't make up for the sanctions on Russia.

military and political power willing to side with it

anyone would take it

If USA declares war, though, China will immediately remember that Russia is their friend

why would war start

honestly

Perhaps because China thinks it can have better relations with the USA without Russia?

Let's suppose it somehow starts

No matter how

both sides have brain cells, war with eachother would do more harm than good

it'd take actual centuries for any sort of profit to be made

Some wars can't be avoided

Some

I'm sure a US vs China can be

They are too entangled economically imo

That's not the topic though

But yes, China is a threat, Economically and Military wise.

Militarily, it's not as dangerous as Russia

Not a threat that could not be dealt with, but the losses for dealing with it would out weigh any benefit.

China can't invade the US. I mean, any sea invasion would end into a defeat, and would cost a lot to the chinese (non-existant, honestly) navy

@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 do you think China knows this and is using it to its advantage?
