It's a good question. Assuming war is the only option on the table:
1. Would Americans be in favor of (relatively) short term destruction in favor of long term prosperity for their children and future generations?
2. Would the US be able to win a conventional war against China?
I believe the answer to #1 is no. I don't think anybody knows the answer to #2.

- CRConrad 5y ago> there is no conventional war with a nuclear power. True. But maybe there can be a purely conventional war between two nuclear powers.
