The PLA are also upgrading and eventually will have weapons that can cover any part of the US. So if the US tries to pull its ships out of range,it doesnt matter. The Chinese will able attack at source any attack from Guam/Conus. For every action there is a reaction. The consequences of war between the US and China are too horrendous to envisage.The US may be able to destroy China at unacceptable cost which will serve as a deterrent and it will get worse as China grows stronger. No amount of damage limitation can stop the Chinese from acquiring a destructive capability. The US can have weaponry that can reach any part of the world,including China,in 30 minutes.

A time will come when the Chinese will have a mad with the US.Granted the US will prevail. The Chinese aint going to ignite ww3. It's the Us with its superior military power that will do so. The PLa will only attack if the US launches attack on Chinese soil. Just as US soil is sacred so is Chinese territory. There are no two ways about this. In time to come US warships will be extremely vulnerable to PLA counter measures. The Chinese aint looking for a fight.So if the US upgrades its weaponry expect the Chinese to so . This is China of the 21 st century not the China of the opium war where corruption and mis rule caused the Chinese to be humiliated by the western powers.
