Well I'm fairly certain America would annihilate China in a war...thats not to say the damage would be one sided but America would come out on top for sure as of now. 1 million troops, top military technology overall, military positions all over earth, allies...mountains of modern weapons.
Im also fairly certain that will never happen as shooting China in the head would also mean shooting America in the head as long as our economies are intertwined.
Its kind of like marrying a b*tchy woman who is hella rich. You want the money but you have to deal with someone you dont enjoy....the two are holding each other by the neck saying, "I dont like you but I need you"
However, any Chinese expansion will no doubt be met with opposition...it could also be what scares japan back into creating an army
