That's not how these things work in practice. US can't just pull out 10k tanks out of storage and put them into combat. There are logistics, personnel, maintenance, fuel, and so on, that's needed to operate each one of these tanks. In the event of the war with China, US would be trying to ship its decrepit tanks all the way across the ocean. Even US military isn't dumb enough to think this is feasible.
US whole game plan was to have sea and air dominance and to surround China with bases in Japan, Korea, Philippines, and Guam. This whole hare brained scheme is now falling apart because China has reached parity with US both in terms of its naval and air forces. In addition to that, China enjoys massive missile superiority.
