There will be no war between the US and China. Neither country has the resources or staging ground to do any meaningful damage to the other. And in the (increasingly likely) event China attacks Taiwan or Japan? Russia invaded Ukraine how many times? And we STILL didn’t care until it looked like Ukraine could hold out for a bit. There will be tutting and calls for sanctions and that is it.
And if things DO escalate to the point of actual conflict between nations? That is when the nukes get launched.

They both have the capability of dealing immense damage to each other. There won’t be a war between China and the US because both have nukes and orbital class rockets.

No. I think it is very important to understand why. In large part because so much is all about funneling money towards the military industrial complex and folk like 52fighters are inadvertently supporting that narrative.
Because this is the same motivation behind “What if we completely restructure the marines for littoral combat because we are going to do endless deeply expensive beach landings” or “Hear me out. What if we have less bullets in heavier guns that are much worse for close range combat because we are going to fight snipers in high tech body armor?”
