The PLA has strong capabilities but the Americans have experience, an official has said
If a conflict between Washington and Beijing broke out today, the more experienced American force would prevail but with significant casualties, a US military intelligence official has told reporters.
The unnamed official gave a background briefing on Monday about threats facing the US military. He downplayed the Chinese H-20 stealth bomber, currently in development, as “probably nowhere near as good” as the American B-2 or the upcoming B-21 – while praising the Chinese J-20 fighter as “highly capable.”
“The biggest… challenge for the Chinese side is actually not so much capability of actual systems, it’s more capability of personnel to effectively employ those systems at speed and at scale,” the official was quoted as saying by Defense One and Breaking Defense.
While the US military has “a lot of experience fighting wars,” the Chinese “don’t really have anybody right now at all, in the [People’s Liberation Army] PLA, who’s actually been in a war.”
This relative inexperience would translate into the US winning a hypothetical war with China – although with large-scale losses – should one break out today, said the Defense One source.
The Pentagon is proceeding with plans to modernize the US military because Chinese President Xi Jinping “almost certainly” believes a war with Washington is inevitable, noted the official.
“I don’t want to rely on the Chinese not being good. Because we’re not going to know they’re not good until they’re shooting at us, and I don’t want to be in a position where I find out, ‘Oh, they actually are that good’. That’s a problem.” the official concluded.
Discussions about Chinese capabilities in Washington have been taking place against the backdrop of a debate about the B-21 bomber program. In February, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall urged the government to commit to the program, arguing that for at least 20 years, China has been building a military “purpose-built to deter and defeat” the US.
Earlier this month, however, Air Force chief of staff General David Allvin told the Senate that new developing technologies might complement the B-21, so the service might not end up getting 100 of the bombers as originally planned. The plane, intended to become operational by 2030, is still under development at Northrop Grumman.

“US would beat
Chinaoff in a war – U.S. intel official”fify RT
Even if we lose, we still get to cancel our debt to them. So it’s a win win .
You actually think these Zipperhead fuques would cancel our debts? ROTFLMAO!
Seriously.. when their statements start with ” probably” the population is about to get screwed
Be advised China has a 200 Million maned Military with plenty of up to date weaponry!
China can lose in numbers the entire population of the US and benefit from it !
China has developed and enhanced education and training for their military !
Meanwhile the US has concentrated on Drag Queen Story Hour , Woke Agenda Of DEI leaving the ranks polluted with DIDN’T EARN IT baffoons that have a very high level of self esteem and ZERO honor & INTEGRITY !
Win a war with China ? With who and with what ? Go Nuclear is the only option as over 10,000 plus Chinese illegals are knocking out infrastructure in the US where our industrial mite has been raped and murdered by the BIG CLUB of Wall Street to K-Street to Capital Street !
No shipyards no steel mills dwindling military ranks and threatened Toxic Masculinity real men to fill the ranks for fear of hurting some faggot or woke females feelings and locked up for being MEN
SURE great idea win a war with China , what a complete lunatic
You fucking nailed it !
Keep em coming.
They have discipline, belief, and technology. It is not even a contest.
One big advantage the Chinese would have in a war with us is that they could simply refuse to sell us spare parts.
The US has no real war experience. It has experience beating up on small countries without real militaries.
First, it there is ever a war with China, it will be in China’s back yard, and China will win.
In todays world, projecting power half way around the world against a nation with satellite’s and long range missiles is a suicide mission.
All bases in Asia would be taken out in the first day, and any ships trying to cross the Pacific would be sitting ducks.
The US has spent all its money on airpower and navy, both of which are impotent in todays world, when your target is 7000 miles away.
US military can defeat almost any police force in the world.
Pronouns and men in dresses don’t win wars.
We have Trannies. The Chinese had better beware.
” . . . the US military has “a lot of experience fighting wars,” the Chinese “don’t really have anybody right now at all, in the [People’s Liberation Army] PLA, who’s actually been in a war.””
I wonder if he understands what he just said.
Yeah, like who controls North of the 38th parallel in Korea? I recall “UN” forces took the whole country all the way to the Chinese border. Looks like maybe China has some real experience, against us, and we did not exactly look like Caesar conquering Gaul and Helvetia and wound up after 50,000 US killed with the status quo ante.
The US Army ran in Korea. It ran away so fast the Chinese could not catch them. The Chinese could not believe how fast the US ran. The Chinese Generals were very upset that the Chinese Army was not engaging the US, but the Officers in the front told them they could not catch them, they were running too fast.
And what just happened in Niger?
1,000 US interlopers have been rounded up and held hostage (there’s that word again) while Niger goes with the Russians (Bin Laden’s stronger horse?) and will be released when we hand over our $100 Million air base to Russia.
Imagine what the MSM filth would be screaming to the hilltops all day long were a Republican in the White House? Instead, virtual news blackout.
But lots of stories about the lie that Dementia Joe’s uncle was eaten by cannibals in WW2.
U.S. Military winning against China? Har har har har har! I laugh in: Afghani Pashtun, Houthi and the Blowfish Arabic, Russian, and of course Vietnamese. The U.S. military has experience in losing wars. Hasn’t won jack excrement, since the end of WWII. Even there, the Soviets did all the heavy lifting against the Germans.
Experience? The Obamanistas ran off all of the warriors (started with the Clintonistas), and the Joey Bidet’s are finishing off the LGBQWERTY military as I type. But they all look cool in their kit and camo! That’s what’s important…
The day of the aircraft carrier is over (been over for awhile). The Chinese possess the DF-21 missile, with the capability of taking out a carrier, well east of Taiwan. All it takes is one missile to get through to hit a carrier. If a US Navy aircraft carrier has a 5 degree list, it cannot recover or launch aircraft. Floating parking lot and target.
The Russians have been making scrap metal out of the M1 Abrams and other wunderwaffen NATO armor and armaments, with drones.
The US military ammo stockpile was Winchestered, with various armaments (155mm howitzer rounds and Javelins). The US does not have the industrial capacity to fight industrial warfare, like the Chinese and Russians can.
Russia has so much capacity that they would still be selling us all their rifle and pistol calibers if the import of it was not banned by Dementia Joe.
Some of the Javelins you mention have magically appeared in Mexico with the Cartels.
Low IQ Biden and his Low IQ Joint Chiefs want to ban sales of Ball ammo overruns or surplus to the civilian market. Having no understanding of how things actually work, this continuous production is in effect a base load where production being continuous, it can be immediately turned over entirely to the military in a crisis with immediate delivery of virtually any quantity always guaranteed. If it goes to a contract basis of X rounds and then shut down until the next order there will eventually be an emergency for which they are unprepared and cannot instantly provide small arms ammunition.
As for contracting I can imagine a day where we are under attack and some tranny general says “we have no ammunithion. We cannot thorth any primerth made entirely by lethbian native women and there do not theem to be any brath extruthion foundry owned entirely by gay Pathific Islanders. We mutht thurrender!”
Sure, I believe it…they never lie.
Nobody wins in a war.
Bankers do
And who are the bankers?
with those claims, it is not surprising that individual would be ‘unnamed’. reads like a dish drizzled with hubris.
i am sure our ‘technicolor’ military is up, running and ready!!
Military armaments are depleted but we’re good to go with all the anti-psychotics, anti-depressives, anti-anxiety that are stock piled from Pfizer as well as the surgeons to make sure the trans surgeries are completed.
History has demonstrated that central banking controlled Western Capitalism will be set up for failure against central banking controlled Communism.
Because,,, under Capitalism 99% of the people control half the wealth.
Under Communism 6 or 7 Jewish people control ALL the wealth.
Any nation bypassing central banking is falsely accused of genocide and central banking controlled Communism, and central banking controlled Capitalism gang up to perpetrate genocide and destroy any truly Nationalist country.
Stopped reading at a US military official said.
Truth be told…………..the democrat parties military is a PAPER TIGER.
Its weapon systems are over-complicated and dont work as advertised.
Moreover…………….close to half of US population HATES the federal/democrat party government guts and will not defend it in a world war.
Tick-tock……………..this NIGGERHOLE is going down !
I would rather be ruled by the Russians than democrat ANY FUCKING DAY !
We lost a simulation to Iran before the military was Fake & Gay. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/how-us-military-lost-war-iran-simulation-207099
Goat humpers have won everywhere this century. But, we’ll beat China 🤣 Closest to a win would be M.A.D.
Pure retardey
The US has almost no combat experience against technological parity. They are delusional. I could say a lot more.
Please say more.
More
If China stopped exports the US economy would collapse; it’d function like an EMP in slow motion. Within 6 months every car, plane, truck, tractor, furnace, and every other electronic widget that needs a part would stop and become un-fixable. Before long transportation of groceries would become very difficult, so would storage of anything that needs refrigeration.
BINGO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The US has not won a war since World War II. That is our “experience.”
A perfect example of an oft-repeated oxymoron:
Military Intelligence
Who would fight that war? Certainly not the millions of illegal aliens, and who would fight for the current crop of democrat communists, perverts and deviants, trans insane people, b l m, antifa, who?
It will go nuclear quickly so if you consider still being alive on a radioactive USA winning then yes, we will win. Just no food or water for the foreseeable future and radiation sickness and possibly death. So other than that victory would be pretty sweet, I guess. That is sarcasm by the way.
