It's logistically impossible for the USA to invade China.
The USA spends a few percent on its military, something more than say the EU, but the reason the military is so large is because the economy is so large. When we say the USA has the largest army, we're really saying the USA has the largest economy.
The Chinese economy is now comparable to the US economy, by dint of their being about three times as many people, but we're looking now at a massive military build up along with intensely threatening behaviour toward Taiwan. Do we forget the repeated massive military exercises to chastise "separative elemnts" in Taiwan, every time a senior US politician visits? do we forget the events in Hong Kong? the ongoing suppression of Tiananmen Square? and of the Uyghurs?
