It won't be easy for either nation. That much is certain.
Things seem to get worse, as the authors articulate that “U.S. and allied forces must be able to operate with only localized domain control,” a scary thought to say the least.
Back in the Winter 2010 edition of Orbis, the always smart James Kraska , at the time an investigator at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, presented his readers with a terrifying prospect: the possibility that China would be able sink a U.S. Aircraft Carrier —virtually at will.

Difference is China will lose 5000 sailors without blinking. The u.s public would demand the govt sue for peace .
Odds are such a war would go nuclear no way you can fight it without someone deciding to go all the way.
