A war with the USA -hot or cold- will lead to China's destruction. In the sense that China will have regime change (like eastern bloc countries) or dismemberment (like the USSSR). I do not expect nuclear exchange of any type no matter what China says.

I also think China would lose a regional war against combined minor powers like Japan, Vietnam and the Philipines. Throw in India and its definitely game over.

This doesn't mean there won't be proxy wars or economic battles during this new Cold War like period.

Do you have more information on the "war" China won against the Philipines?

For what it's worth, Pakistan, Cambodia and some other countries will be allied with China.

Maybe that's what all those "ghost cities" China built are for. After all their cities are destroyed in a nuclear war, the survivors can move there and restart.
