Where China has the advantage is in terms of manpower and the will to throw it relentlessly into battle. They have way too many young men with no prospects for a future. What do you do with them? You use them and hope most of them don't come home to cause trouble when they realize they have no hope.

Just keep in mind if the dollar collapses, America hasn't got **it. You're being sold out as we speak.
If the dollar collapsed the entire world's economy would as well and China would collapse the very next day.
Americans are young mate. They won't see what they don't want to.

I was with you until you said "impossible".
No, I said all BUT impossible. Please feel free to read it again.
That means not impossible, just extremely improbable.

Explain.
America did not get it's ass handed to them in Vietnam.
I would suggest that you read some history.

They can, but they won't. China takes one island, then another, then another. The U.S does nothing.
China has a strong military easily transported to the area. Boots on the ground. The U.S does nothing.
China flips off America.....you see where this is going.
China is an ant right now anywhere outside the Chinese mainland. They have zero force projection power and would be completely unable to land any boot anywhere without US allowance. In 15-20 years this might have changed, but right now China is more than happy to not spend money on force projection and allow the US to spend it's money ensuring the trade security China enjoys.

China 100% would never succeed in landing troops on our mainland, they have zero force projection powers. Zero. Look at their naval power compared to the US. China would also lose all the land they have purchased world wide as the US and it's allies simply took it all. China does not have any ability to defend this land.
Aren't there Chinese troops in Mexico?

My understanding, from what I can pick up from various sources, is that the world's economy right now is so entertwined that if any of the world's major economies or a couple of the BRICs collapse, the entire world would be in some serious hurt.
...the US would own the skies over China...

I'm sorry what US naval blockade did those troops have to go through? Moving peacetime troops has what to do with trying to move several hundred thousand troops to the US? Unless you think a few troops in Mexico (who would attack the Chinese troops for us most likely) are going to invade the US I fail to see your point.
