The first exchanges would be fought at sea with missles and aircraft. Whoever wins this battle would then invade the other country, or if they don't have the stomach for the fight, withdraw.
China will likely invade through Mexico.
We will be hosed. The chinese terrain makes an overland assault virtually impossible. A coastal assault will mean lots of losses and difficulty maintaining logistics.
Our best hope is to defeat them in the air to discourage an invasion, and if they do invade we withdraw to mountainous terrain and attempt to beat them back across the Mexican border.
In all likelihood, we lose Texas and the rest of the Southwest. Just from the sheer numbers that the Chinese will throw at us.
Yeah, not a very rosey picture from my perspective.
