no offense, but China is in no position to fight a war against the US in Korea. And I'm not saying that from the position of a biased amerifreak (although in a dozen posts it will come down to that) but from a strategic standpoint. Korea is a major bottleneck. what is nice about bottlenecks is that they are extremely and I stress, EXTREMELY vulnerable to massive bombing runs.
China's air force is made up of 3rd and 4th generation fighters. 300 out of their 400 transports are SINGLE PROPELLOR ENGINE planes that if I remember right cannot even hold a dozen soldiers.
Our air force outnumbers their a few time to one.
Total air superiority over Korea by US planes is extremely likely. That means that we can bring in B-52 and B-2's and bomb day and night as we please. A single B-52 could annihalate an entire armored column.
Apaches would pin down Korean and Chinese armor.
With no sort of armor support and thin supplies the Chinese would be forced to attempt a daring assault with as many men as possible in order to shut down the airfields.
But with no armor the Chinese soldiers will have to face off against the Abrams main battle tanks which would be equipped not with explosive ammunition, but rather with canister rounds which are massive shotgun shells with very large balls inside. Imagine if you will a line stretching from the east to the west with Abrams tanks supported by infantry as well as South Korean artillery and infantry, as the Chinese and North Koreans attack the abrams will slice through their infantry advances. With B-52's flying on an east to west path around a few miles north of this line they can carpet bomb the entire area and eliminate everything in the area.
What they don't get would be mopped up by AC-130's, F-35's, Apaches, Cobras, and F/A-18's.
What areas cannot be protected would be mined through the use of the volcano mine dispersal system. http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/vi...0015ff-309440348544?q=volcano mine&FORM=VIRE1
With the ability to lay a minefield a kilometer long in under 43 seconds it will slow down, if not stop the attacking Chinese and Koreans.
Without proper heavy weapons and armor support as well as sufficient supply lines the Chinese and north Koreans would be stopped, and afterwards the US and south Koreans would take the offensive, by mining the north Korean border with China and extensive bombing the US can prevent a large percentage of the supplies from reaching their forces. The chinese and North Koreans would be pushed nearly back to the Chinese and North Korean border at which point a ceasefire would be signed. The reason is because China knows that it cannot afford to continue with another offenssive because of the bottleneck and the US knows that the second it crosses into China it loses the advantage of total air superiority for a great deal of time as well as the advantage of a bottleneck.
South Korea would definitely sign the treaty because it has gained control of the vast majority, if not all of the Korean Peninsula. If there is any part of the North Korea that hasn't been captured it would readily sign the treaty because it knows that if China won't fight than it will definitely be crushed.
