A long time ago with a job that had me driving pilots to and from the airport, I ran this kind of thinking by a retired Marine. My thought was that America would lose in a war to China because they stole our technology and mass produced it while having huge amounts of bodies. His response? "I'd rather have a bunch of Chinese soldiers charging at me than a bunch of angry Marines."
Take all this as you will, but if the PLA outnumbers the Indian army and still loses in a border skirmish then I don't see them having victory over the US military.

Fast forward to more recently and I've done a stint in the Army. First-hand experience with our military coupled with news of Chinese military action( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKwTfpviFw0&ab_channel=ChinaUncensored ) has me believing that China's military is actually extremely weak. According to this infotainment source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydw-P7U9KtA&ab_channel=TheInfographicsShow they don't even use body armor.
