"What a War Between China and the United States Would Look Like"

By Erik Sofge

"About 8 hours after the mass raid on Taiwan, klaxons start blaring aboard the Nimitz and her escorts. There are more missiles in the air, this time headed straight for the carrier group. The Taiwan Strait is still more than 1000 miles away, but the war has come to the Nimitz. Skimming the surface of the Pacific are four supersonic missiles flying faster than their own roar."

"Any Chinese move to take over Taiwan would trigger a confrontation with the U.S. Navy and Air Force. Is the U.S. prepared to counter this growing threat?"

That would depend largely on who occupies the White House when China acts. Currently, any such action on China's part MIGHT generate a strongly worded letter. At most.
