| Subject: If it came to a war over the South China Sea, who would win? Wed Jul 20, 2016 11:22 pm | |
| Ten years ago, the answer would have been a resounding nod to the United States. While the odds are still well in the super power's favour today, military experts say the costs would be high and China could inflict some serious damage.
Of course, this is an extreme scenario. Most analysts agree that the chance of a conventional war between China and the US over the South China Sea is low, precisely because the consequences are so serious.
It would pit a rising military power against the most established fighting force in the world, which would ostensibly be acting in support of its regional allies and to maintain its influence in the region.
Such a conflict would divide the world and bring the global economy to its knees.
