Xi Jinping's military tipped to beat US in first war battle over South China Sea

CHINA has been suggested to have the advantage over the US in a potential conflict over the Asia-Pacific, according to a maritime professor.


Professor Lyle Goldstein says that China may even strike first. 

Lyle Goldstein, research professor at the Naval War College's China Maritime Studies Institute, said the US would likely lose a first fight with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Washington and Beijing have repeatedly raised tensions with naval drills in disputed Asian waters over the past year, with China enraged over the US’s support of Taiwan and presence in the South China Sea.

Mr Goldstein argued "the situation is actually considerably darker" for US troops beyond the opening rounds of a potential conflict.

He added: “I think China now has adequate forces, including air, missile, electronic warfare, spec ops, naval, undersea and nuclear to likely prevail in the first phase and perhaps in subsequent phases too.”
