Missiles would get through, then there would be retaliatory strikes, and all those pretty little islands China has been building will get reduced to rubble. China talks a good show, but they've got nowhere near the arsenal the US has, and if China is going to fuck the world's supply chains anyway, I have no doubt their factories and foundries would be destroyed. There's a lot of naval and air power concentrated in that part of the world, and the US doesn't need to worry about the land war in Asia conundrum . Not to mention cyber warfare, and the immediate isolation from the west. The US isn't just a nuclear superpower, it's got an absurdly over-large conventional arsenal.
