I listen to a lot of Mearsheimer. One of the surprising thing he dashed out casually deep into his talks is that he grew up in a very left leaning academia background and ideologically pretty anti imperialistic himself. I think the western mainstream can not accept Realism as a valid school in international affair study is that you don't include moral superiority in the calculation. You always consider you and your rival compete in the equal race track and you can't add your superior liberal values handicapped points to help your game.

Wtf does America even have to offer anyone? They don't control a trade bloc anymore, they can't win any military engagements, why would anyone want to side with them? Maybe the threat of invasion itself is enough?

The difference is that only one of these countries' governments will permit you to publish a book, a newspaper article or even a Twitter post about its historical and ongoing atrocities.

Maybe the threat of invasion itself is enough? Interesting way to write Chinese economy dies as it no longer trades finished goods for raw materials, food, and medicine. Please recall Russia is currently being fought off with essentially spares. Russian stability has been based on a carefully structured prison house of nations being run by the biggest gang. China has based it on economic prosperity. Crashing Russias raw materials export market was never going to stop them, because someone will always take the deal. But China is much more vulnerable. Military needs just can't take up the slack, or provide the food in short order. Their poor agricultural disease control makes this extra fragile. Additionally they don't have uncontested control of the SCS like the US has uncontested control of the East Pacific and Atlantic seaboard. The US can rebuild it's conventional navy far out of reach, while China can't prevent attacks from being staged from the whole region, a region it has not made an effort to be a good neighbor in. The US can commit enough navel and air power to permanently eliminate Chinas navy, take 100% losses, and move enough assets from current active duty to do it twice more. In a more realistic scenario, it's enough to keep the Chinese navy bottled in port and fight it as an air war where both sides lob missiles at each other's planes from standoff range until we figure out how to resolve a nuclear power conflict with no nukes.

If you're an American your contingency plan for a US-China war should involve peaceful, legal protests involving the electrical grid and other parts of key infrastructure.
