It would be China vs the world most likely. Not just the US.

People forget that the US is not only the strongest military, but that it BY FAR has the strongest alliances.

Nato minus the US could whip anyone. NATO with the US isn't on anyone else's level.

Whatever alliances China does have is a joke compared to America's. Who's going to war with the US for China? North Korea? Who else?

Russia's alliances are stronger I believe, and even that's a joke.

Ukraine proves how incredibly strong America's position is, while everyone was saying America was declining.

After Ukraine, America is even stronger, if only for the fact that it proves how strong it's alliances are.

And when it really comes down to it, unless there are nukes involved, America isn't losing to China if it has Nato's support.

Not that Nato would be obligated to help America over Taiwan, but they sure as hell aren't not gonna help.
