Oh, I agree with that. My point is more that it won't be economically or diplomatically that they'll be able to contend. It will come down to force, if it comes down to anything.

Yeah, but it will be a long struggle, that's what I'm saying

Not necessarily. I wouldn't place any bets on it being long or short. It could be a near-instant KO, or it could be a years-long grind, albeit in the latter case it would either be because the US declined to directly intervene, or because China accepted being put under permanent blockade as the cost of doing war.
