The US has more trained military personnel relative to population compared to China, not to mention active military personnel.

Theoretically, China could simply overwhelm the US with sheer numbers, just like Russians overwhelmed the nazis in WW2, despite the nazis having better equipment and soldiers. Fortunately, it would be extremely difficult (if not just impossible) to transport many millions of soldiers across the Pacific ocean, not to mention keep them properly supplied after they landed on American soil.

american soil also has the benefit of being incredibly rough in some areas, vast as hell, and filled with civilians that have and know how to use weaponry, and enough guns/ammo to arm basically every person.

No, it doesn't work "theoretically" because even then the other guys have things that go boom, which is one of the reasons mass infantry wouldn't be a thing if developed nations were to engage in warfare against each other.

Maybe you're right, let's hope we never have to find out the hard way :I

As for armed civilians in the US, I guess any invader would have to wipe out the civilian population on the conquered parts of the country just not to have to deal with a reasonably armed militia forces.

Come to think of it, conventional warfare on a large scale (like WW2) just seems to be no longer a practical approach to war nowadays especially when it comes to developed countries. We are entering the age where quality actually beats quantity.

the chinese government would get sponsored by the major chinese airlines for transportation uu just have to either train every soldiers for parashoot jumping or overtake airports with their heavy numbers and even tho chinese supply would get sniped before they dropped to the ground USA is #1 in fast food restaurants per capita so they could just aim to invade the south and go thru the midwest where everyone are super fat and has guns cuz the chinese soldiers could re-supply themselves with weapons and fast food from the american people so their freedom bites them back in the ass in the end when

That is not how modern warfare works. Its kind of like how some crackpot politicians in Finland talk about mobilizing in case of a war with Russia. When the US or Russia go to war they long-range strike any and everything that even looks remotely like a military target or even resistance, after that they just steamroll you. There is no way any country bordering the US, Russia, China could every put up a resistance. Manpower means very little in modern warfare unless you've got the tech to back them up.

Second, please have no illusions that populations in western Europe or America would go full guerrilla warfare Vietnam style. There are riots and looting when the internet goes out for 12 hours, but I guess thats is all moot because no one is ever going to get to land-invade mainland USA.
