It's not that simple. China has an entire elite coastal artillery division which uses new deadly accurate missiles to restrict our movements in the South China Sea and around China's coast. They even made a large super accurate carrier killer ballistic missile to keep us at bay.
They also have subs, long range bombers that carry cruise missiles, and have pretty good jet fighters.
They are also capable of shooting down any of our satellites at will, and if that happens our major advantages go out the window.
I'd err on the side of caution and hope things never escalate. We are too busy fighting isreali battles in the desert and acting like Russia is an enemy.
Our main focus should have always been china and it should change to that tomorrow
China has nothing on US tech. It is that easy. That island is not ready for any kind of attack at all. Neither Russia nor China could defend themselves if the US did decide to attack. There Navies/Air force are nothing compared to the USA. They have more overall troops that is there one advantage.

No... they arent... nor we them... The average GPS satellite starts at 13,000 miles(22,000km) going up to 26,000 miles(42,000km)

The longest range missile ever produced only could go `10,000 miles (16,000km) USA,China, Russia, etc.

China has no Navy compared to the USA, just like with Russia, you sit off the coast shooting cheap and plentiful patriot missiles to confuse any SAM(surface to air missiles) then let loose the F16,22,35s etc which will come in waves with 10 aircraft carriers...
The USA spends more then the top 7/8 nations combined on military, there is a reason the Russians are finally getting in on stealth (T50/SU57) and China recently released there first stealth plane the J-20 and are making another J-31 as they see the benefit to stealth.
Keep in mind while other countries are also building their first stealth planes and aircraft carriers, the USA is moving onto 6th gen fighters(everyone else is just starting to make 5th stealth planes) and the Ford class aircraft carriers are here now...
Fa/XX program protype render from Boeing.
The Ford class...
And just for shits and giggles the Zumwalt class stealth destroyers...
USA spends too much to have toys like this, but it does give them the best.
