And yeah, you hit a nerve - telling someone their dead body would be "awsome" and mocking the fact that someone can barely run when they haven't yet reached the age of 25 might piss some people off. Especially when that injury cost them the chance to do things they wanted to do, that most people would dream of doing.

Okay, let's put it to a poll.
All who say America will fight China, say Yea.
All who say no, say Nay.
Then we can see where everyone stands, without the propaganda.

If Californians, Texas, Florida all want to secede from the Union, what will your attitude be?
You will say, over my dead body!

I am not American. So no, I wouldn't say that.
Here's another thought though.. Would China want to reclaim Taiwan if Taiwan was more like a third world country (and that it would be more of a burden than a benefit to reclaim it)?

Even if Taiwan is a no-mans land, China will still claim it back. It is the territorial integrity of China at stake. In fact, in terms of governance, a poor and under-developed Taiwan is better.

So why are you saying you want a poor, undeveloped Taiwan? That's not very nice.
So while you seem to have dreams of Chinese D-Day invasion of Taiwan, it's not going to happen. One China policy is supported by the US, but so is US support for quasi-independence of Taiwan. China would gain nothing but shame for military invasion of Taiwan. Taiwan would gain no advantage by declaring independence. Chinese could never dream of invading Taiwan by force, all they could do is lob missiles at the island. You're reading too much military books and magazines that are all fiction.

So why speak in such an arrogant, ignorant, and absolutely downright stupid manner? Because zcheng and all the "commies" do so?
With all due respect, it'd be hard to not be excited to see you in combat, considering you are so high to think we can kick anyone's @$$ as long as they're not American. If you truly believe that, then why not go fight? If we (more like you) think we can crush them then why not quit the trash-talk and do it? You shouldn't be asking for a fight if you aren't up to it.
First off, I have never said that I wanted a war. I said if it came down to it we would win. And as for me going to war, I already tried to join the military, as I told you. It is not my fault that my knee was bent 90 degrees in the wrong direction.

Again, even if China had identical technology, 8000 nukes against 250 is just too much of a gap. Someone said that China could hit 90% of the US with nukes. Is that all at once? Just how much area can those 250 nukes cover? Now how about 8000?

Don't forget that the majority of these warheads are not on ICBM's and therefore incapable of reaching the US from China

China probably couldn't even invade North Korea! They are like America in many ways, they simply don't know how to fight inferior enemies.

Your above post is so convincing and elegant. Way above most.
When there are fewer US people that think they can beat anyone while leave US unharmed, the world will be more peaceful.

You mean when more people believe in Chinese war porn scariness it'll be better.
Save it man, your commie colors are showing.

Technology isn't everything. Look at the vietnam war. USA lost that war, ran home with it's tail behind its legs despite it's superior technology. Never underestimate the will of the people who are determined to fight.
Look at the Korean war. Again, low tech North Koreans and Chinese fought the US to a stand still.
And you morons really think that China, who is not lo-tech but middle-tech, with its vast armies and resources, could EVER be defeated by the US?
I don't think so.
The only way US can defeat China is by nuking them. But China has it's own 2,500+ nukes, and their # of ICBMs, BECAUSE they are not silo based except for about 20 (DF-5) but are mobile (truck) are impossible to determine. Last year, China sold over 20 DF-5s to Saudi Arabia. That is just one year. Do you really think China only has 20 Df-5 to it's national defense? The DF31's are mobile ICBMs, and can go at least 8,000KM (probably 10,000), able to reach about 2/3s of the USA.
The DF41s (still in development) are also mobile ICBMs but can go 12,000+ (ie anywhere in the world). All of these ICBMs are MIRVed, capable of multiple warheads.
One thing you guys have to realize is this.
China maybe behind the USA in conventional arms technology albeit they are rapidly catching up, but they are NOT behind the USA in ballistic missiles technology. They have a very successful satellite launching record, and they are the 3rd country to send a man to outer space.
So in conclusion, USA cannot defeat China in conventional warefare. Nor can the USA defeat China in nuclear war without it being destroyed also (MAD).
