Thus, while neither state wants war, both states' militaries have plans to fight one. As Chinese anti-access and area-denial (A2AD) capabilities improve, the United States can no longer be so certain that war would follow its plan and lead to decisive victory. This analysis illuminates various paths a war with China could take and their possible consequences. Technological advances in the ability to target opposing forces are creating conditions of conventional counterforce, whereby each side has the means to strike and degrade the other's forces and, therefore, an incentive to do so promptly, if not first. This implies fierce early exchanges, with steep military losses on both sides, until one gains control. At present, Chinese losses would greatly exceed U.S. losses, and the gap would only grow as fighting persisted. But, by 2025, that gap could be much smaller. Even then, however, China could not be confident of gaining military advantage, which suggests the possibility of a prolonged and destructive, yet inconclusive, war. In that event, nonmilitary factors--economic costs, internal political effects, and international reactions--could become more important. Political leaders on both sides could limit the severity of war by ordering their respective militaries to refrain from swift and massive conventional counterforce attacks. The resulting restricted, sporadic fighting could substantially reduce military losses and economic harm. This possibility underscores the importance of firm civilian control over wartime decisionmaking and of communication between capitals. At the same time, the United States can prepare for a long and severe war by reducing its vulnerability to Chinese A2AD forces and developing plans to ensure that economic and international consequences would work to its advantage"--Back cover. 606 $aWar$xForecasting 606 $aAccess denial (Military science)$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zChina 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWar$xForecasting. 615 0$aAccess denial (Military science) 676 $a355.020112 700 $aGompert$b David C.$0675666 702 $aCevallos$b Astrid Stuth 702 $aGarafola$b Cristina L. 712 02$aArroyo Center. 712 02$aUnited States.$bArmy, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154691903321 996 $aWar with China$92894522 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01452nam 2200433 450 001 9910588595403321 005 20230112090630.0 010 $a981-19-3288-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7076054 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7076054 035 $a(CKB)24723851200041 035 $a(PPN)264196856 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924723851200041 100 $a20230112d2022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aHigh temperature physicochemical properties of high alumina blast furnace slag /$fXuewei Lv, Zhiming Yan 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer,$d[2022] 210 4$dİ2022 215 $a1 online resource (200 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Lv, Xuewei High Temperature Physicochemical Properties of High Alumina Blast Furnace Slag Singapore : Springer,c2022 9789811932878 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 606 $aAluminum oxide$xProperties 606 $aIron slag$xProperties 615 0$aAluminum oxide$xProperties. 615 0$aIron slag$xProperties. 676 $a661.067 700 $aLv$b Xuewei$01253922 702 $aYan$b Zhiming 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910588595403321 996 $aHigh Temperature Physicochemical Properties of High Alumina Blast Furnace Slag$92907768 997 $aUNINA
