You know why I'm so confident that china would crush US in a military conflict in the Pacific or anywhere 1000KM away from its border??
Because China has 220 times the shipbuilding capacity of the US. Also china's manufacturing prowess in missiles who have automated factories. Steel, power generation is second to none.
In a prolonged warfare, a country's productivity and material economy matters the most
If you can outproduce your opponent, you have greater chances.
This is how Russia got the edge against NATO's entire stockpile, they put workers in their factories to produce weapons and artillery at a much higher rate than entire NATO combined.
US economy is heavily financialized, Incase of war, it doesn't matter how good treasury yields are doing or how good the stock market is or how good Nvidia's stock price is. What matters is the material you produce.
