I don't know enough to comment

debatable

China has next to unlimited manpower and a powerhouse economy

in the unlikely case war starts even

@Deleted User then why did they capitulate to trump in the recent "trade war"?

if North Korea does something stupid China will most probably only join in small numbers and do jack shit, unless North Korea is the one getting invaded in a strike

Manpower? China doesn't have enough navy to CARRY all these men.

Nor air force

^

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
