SM,

The USofA believes in MAD = Mutually Assured Destruction.
(A Short Quick Nuclear War.) [USofA can NOT Invade China.]

China (PRC) believes in MAR = Mutually Assured Reduction.
(A Short Quick Nuclear War followed by a Long Drawn-Out Conventional War.)

+ China is willing to lose 1/4 to 1/3 of their Population in
a War with the USofA. This is about equal to the Entire
Population of the USofA. Note: This is a Winning Strategy for
China because the can BLAME the Losses on the War and the USofA:
Plus the get a Needed Population Reduction.

+ China only has to Target and Destroy the Top One Hundred
US Cities (Urban Areas) to Win the War. This will reduce the
USofA's Population by about 15%. Once that happens the USofA
will Not be able to sustain the War: Therefore China Wins within
the first three days. Note that China only needs 250 to 500
ICBMS to achieve their Goal of Destroying these 100 Urban Areas.

- As a 'result' of the War with China; the USofA becomes a
"Third World Country".

Too many regimented workers would be lost. That drives up production
costs for the American factories there. The bottom line wins over morals
every time.

Maybe the real reason is that the Chinese would give you a serious fight.
There are over a billion of them and they have nukes as well.
