This is tl;dr material, but read what I put in bold, then decide if you’d like to read the rest. The Pence speech Q linked to, twice, peaked my interest.
LEVIN: We'll be right back.
Dr. Pillsbury, I want to elaborate on the Chinese military threat. Let me crystallize this. If we went to war with China, would we win or would they win?
PILLSBURY: It depends on where the war would be taking place and the tactics that would be used on the two sides. In terms of spending and numbers of let's say aircraft carriers, we're way ahead. We have something like ten to one superiority, all things considered. They don't have any stealth bombers at all. They don't have any nuclear-powered aircraft carriers at all, but in the war games, I have been involved in against China, when I'd been there, sometimes on the China team, so-called red team, I would always find if I fight with an American style, then the American team would win that particular war game. If I use Chinese style based on their writings for what they would do, attack our nerve centers first, for example, or attack our satellites in space during the first two hours of the war. If I would use things out of their Chinese textbooks, then the American team would lose.
