    they get 1.4 billion people.
    let's say each robot can kill 1000.
    we need send an army of 1,400,000 robot to china.

    These robots will controlled by 140,000 experts.
    a few army generals will run this attack.

    We already have robots, they run on pizza and beer and are controlled by way to many generals.

    (*)(*)(*)(*), the U.S. Navy has more admirals than it has ships.

    UN to Host Talks on Use of 'Killer Robots'
    November 10, 2017 — The United Nations is set to host talks on the use of autonomous weapons, but those hoping for a ban on the machines dubbed "killer robots" will be disappointed, the ambassador leading the discussions said Friday.

    No we don't just don't try to invade with troops focus on air superiority, naval superiority and hitting their handful of industrial provinces and Hong Kong and infrastructure until they are forced to sue for peace. Without access to sell goods by sea they will need to use long land routes and their economy will stall. Their land army largely will be useless at some point. And we can also void all debts they hold since we can't be expected to finance an enemy include all the debts we owed them and was re-sold to another party. We are largely self-sufficient the Chinese aren't they need oil imports, food imports and trade to survive.

    And if you order the robots to be built in China on local factories, than you can save on shipping costs. They will not have to travel to US and back. Perfect solution :)

    Simply putting an internal embargo in place would largely cripple the Chinese economy.

    To give an idea, the United States is China's largest trading partner. In 2016 it was a staggering $388 billion, 20% of all their exports. It takes all of Europe (which as of 2016 still includes the UK) to pass that amount. And if the US was to start such an internal embargo, expect at least half of Europe to join in.

    The US is also the largest importer to China, at over $122 billion in 2016. Once again, it takes most of Europe to pass that number by a single nation.

    The Chinese economy is incredibly fragile, as it is quite literally a "one trick pony". It is built upon being a bastion of cheap labor, but not actually producing anything internally that is of a major requirement anywhere. It simply makes them for others, cheaper.

    Simply stop buying Chinese products and selling them the raw materials they need, and their economy would implode without dropping a single bomb.

    The US economy would also collapse as the cost of consumer goods skyrocketed and the bottom dropped out of the stock market.

    Why would we try to fight with China?

    We have a cooperative relationship with them.

    Not really. In fact, I can think of many ways the reverse can happen. In fact, we can cripple their economy without even having an embargo.

    A lot of companies are now trapped overseas. The huge tax penalties in transferring profits made in overseas components is what keeps companies with huge amounts of money tied up outside of the country. And unable to bring it home, most companies simply re-invest it into expanding their facilities overseas. It really is a liquidity catch-22.

    And in the past decade, more and more companies have indicated they would love to return some or all of their production to the US, but are unable to. The tax hit they would take would make half of their overseas capitol disappear.

    Simply guarantee no tax penalty in returning overseas capitol, so long as the money brought into the US is used to expand domestic production to replace the lost overseas production.

    And even if there was an embargo, expect that impact on the US to be relatively short lived. The pre-China dominance production still exists in countries like the Philippines, Malaysia, Mexico, Vietnam, and other nations that have seen their production shrink under Chinese assumption of manufacturing. We can even resume it here in the US, with enough capitol invested to recreating our lost manufacturing capability. Expect economic upheaval to last only 6-18 months until other sources supplant those from China.

    The initial phase of the Great Depression’s economic freefall was only about 18 months. Some pretty horrible things can happen to tens of millions of American consumers during that time period.

    That was a world-wide economic collapse, made worse by a great many other things.

    Hoarding of wealth, loss of faith in the stock market, excessive reliance on industrial jobs for the economy, runaway deflation, high interest rates, and finally a drop in food prices which decreased demand on farming, followed almost immediately by the Dust Bowl.

    And the final nail, the Gold Standard. Which linked the value of the US Dollar on Gold. As the price in gold increased because of hording, the value of the dollar got stronger, causing even more deflation.

    Almost none of those conditions exist in the modern era.
