Did you know Russia also has hydrogen bombs? I think Russia has plenty in their arsenal to discourage the Chinese from even talking about taking land. The rest of Europe has the US on our side, more nukes.
No point trying to take land if you risk being levelled by the worlds other superpowers...
Russia has more then just hydrogen bombs..
So does China. But if 1 of them uses it then it's total annihilation for both. And they both knows this. The only way for either one to gamble with their nukes is when they r certain that the opposing force is bent on totally crushing them - as a country and as a people. That's when they have nothing to lose other then launch nukes for mutual annihilation and hope there's a few survivors left...
Highly unlikely that the Russians will stupidly launch any nukes to ensure their own destruction.
It will be a conventional war.
China just needs to impoverished the US economically, which in turn will cut their military expenditure...
Like the Russians did...and they r a shadow of their former self now. Even their navy is a joke when compared with the South Koreans.
