Huge difference is this implies a Chinese attack on US forces, you think they could allow that to go unchallenged? Russia didn't attack US forces in Syria or the rest of the middle east, so the US could ignore it. It might work if there was no attack on US military, but any attack, significant enough to disable the US military for a few days, would almost certainly be responded to with force.
