The reality of a modern major war with China, an ocean away, with no logistical supply chain, is that it will be fought and over within weeks, culminating with the launch of nuclear weapons.
And if it doesn't result in exchange of nukes/ICBMs then it will quickly reach a stalemate where both sides' navies are either sunk via missiles/drones or pulled back to their own territory. From there it will descend into a proxy hybrid war, with asymmetrical cold war shit escalating all over the globe

That is the most probable outcome by a wide margin.
Right? After the US carrier fleet gets totally smoked by DF21s in the middle of the pacific. As they say, kiss your ass goodbye.

How would China's ships pull back? They are already in their own territory. Who would the proxy war involve?
Yeah that sounds like a Chinese victory to me and unironically the proxy forces would be in Africa and maybe Europe.
