We couldn't take Vietnam, we can't take Iraq and we sure as hell would have our assess handed to us by the Chinese if that day ever comes, and it may.
The ONLY chance in hell we may have is a serious preemptive strike against Chinese military targets in an attempt to cripple them before they moved on us. But common sense says we wouldn't dent their massive army in such a strike and would regret that move.

They have more people than the US but we can arm a larger force than they can. At the end of the second world war we had sixteen million people in uniform with a population almost one third the size of our current population and an economy that was a fraction of our current economy even allowing for inflation.
They do not have the technological weapons that we have.
They do not have the naval power that we have.
They do not have the air power that we have.
They do not have the industrial capacity that we have.
They do not have the ability to project power (other than the use of ICBM's)and we do and are prepositioned around the globe.
They admitted a year or two ago that they are not a military match for us...but stated that they were going to work on changing that. They have increased their military spending and assuming that we remained stagnant they could reach our current military status within twenty years or so...but of course we will not remain stagnant. Military R&D is a constant with us.
They do have ICBM's but we outnumber them in that area by thousands.
So I repeat...pigshit.
