might surprise you.

Don't forget that at any given moment the US only has a couple hundred thousand battle ready troops.

They can have a billion troops and it won't matter. The PRC lacks the ability to transport them much farther than Taiwan's west coast.

The PLAAF has less than 200 medium/heavy transport aircraft.
The PLAN has about 100 medium/heavy assault ships (about 70 of them are short range vessels). They also have about 400 landing craft. They have the ability to move there two Marine Brigades and some follow up forces in their neighborhood but that's about it.

The US has six MEUs with intergraded air and armor that can strike anywhere in the world. The US also has two Airborne Divisions that can do likewise.

Also lets not forget the USAF has planes that can fly from the Midwest and bomb targets undetected in the middle east. The Chinese air force's planes can't fly much farther than Guam.

The PRC has sufficient forces to hassle Taiwan or Vietnam or maybe Japan but short of using nuclear bombs they can't really try to fight the US.
