let me give you 3 simple reasons to calm you down:
1. Modern war is fought based on the capability of manufacturing, today, China's manufacturing is 3.16 times of the US and more than the US, Japan , Germany and India combined.
2, China will not invade the US, but at areas around China, US has no edge in military over China
3. in 1950, it only took Chinese army 3 months to kick the whole UN force led by the US army out of North Korea, that is 75 years ago,

over the past 75 years, the U.S. has primarily engaged in conflicts with smaller nations rather than confronting major military powers directly. Here’s a general timeline of U.S. military interventions:
Korean War (1950-1953) – Fought against North Korea (and indirectly China and the Soviet Union), ending in an armistice.
Vietnam War (1955-1975) – A long and costly conflict against North Vietnam, which eventually led to U.S. withdrawal.
Invasion of Grenada (1983) – A small-scale operation to overthrow a leftist government.
Invasion of Panama (1989) – To remove Manuel Noriega from power.
Gulf War (1991) – A large coalition war against Iraq after it invaded Kuwait.
Intervention in Somalia (1992-1994) – Initially a humanitarian mission, it escalated into military conflict.
Kosovo War (1999) – U.S. and NATO airstrikes against Serbia.
Afghanistan War (2001-2021) – Longest U.S. war, fighting the Taliban and later ISIS.
Iraq War (2003-2011) – Overthrew Saddam Hussein, leading to prolonged instability.
Intervention in Libya (2011) – NATO-led operation that led to the fall of Gaddafi.
Ongoing drone strikes and military operations – In Yemen, Syria, and several African countries.
Pattern:
Most of these conflicts were asymmetrical wars against weaker nations or insurgent groups.
The U.S. has avoided direct military conflicts with major powers like China or Russia.
The justification for many of these wars was framed around fighting communism, terrorism, or promoting democracy.

The US will not fight a war with China, here is why:
historically, the cost of war for the U.S. has often been offset through economic, political, and strategic means, sometimes involving financial gains from the affected countries. Here are some key ways the U.S. has attempted to recoup war expenses from the nations involved:
1. War-Induced Economic Dependence
After U.S. military interventions, many affected countries become economically dependent on the U.S. for reconstruction, trade, or financial aid.
Example: Iraq & Afghanistan – The U.S. invested heavily in "rebuilding" efforts, but much of the funding went to U.S. companies (e.g., Halliburton, Lockheed Martin) through military contracts.
2. Control Over Resources
Many wars have had an economic dimension, especially where oil and natural resources were involved.
Example: Iraq War (2003) – The U.S. gained influence over Iraq’s oil exports, and American oil companies benefited from contracts after the war.
Example: Libya (2011) – Following Gaddafi’s removal, Western oil companies secured deals for Libya’s vast oil reserves.
3. Arms Sales & Military Dependence
After conflicts, the U.S. often sells weapons to the same countries to maintain security.
Example: Kuwait after the Gulf War (1991) – After liberating Kuwait, the U.S. signed large arms deals and stationed troops there.
Example: South Korea – After the Korean War, South Korea became one of the biggest buyers of U.S. weapons.
4. U.S. Dollar Dominance
Wars help reinforce the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency.
Countries affected by U.S. interventions often hold reserves in USD or conduct trade in petrodollars (e.g., Iraq, Gulf nations).
5. Geopolitical Control & Military Bases
U.S. interventions have allowed it to expand military presence worldwide.
Example: Japan & Germany post-WWII – The U.S. still has major military bases there, giving it long-term strategic leverage.
6. Imposing Debt Through IMF & World Bank
War-torn nations often turn to IMF or World Bank loans, which come with conditions favoring U.S. interests.
Example: Afghanistan – After the U.S. withdrawal, the Afghan economy remains heavily dependent on international aid.
Conclusion:
While the U.S. doesn’t always "directly" charge countries for war expenses, it often extracts economic and strategic benefits—whether through resource control, military sales, debt dependency, or geopolitical influence.
however, fight war with China will not gain anything to the US but huge losses, therefore, there will not war btw China and US
