This is a scenario opportunity: Peter Roberts believed if US and China break into total war, China will be 'utterly defeated' because of the internal dispute and lack of war experience.
By definition of 'utterly defeated', only one way to prove this is the US launch total invasion into Chinese mainland, and destroy every single military assets. Nuclear holocaust will be ensured, but right into Chinese heartland rather than anywhere else.
And surprisingly, there is none or a scenario to invade China head-to-head with grand scale of land battles.

The Prospect of World War 3
Trevor McCrisken, associate professor of politics and international studies at the University of Warwick has stated that WW3 is definitely on the horizon, reported Independent. “We would be looking, I would imagine, at World War Three. I really do think that would be the end of life as we know it on Earth,” he said. This is because war between two aggressive superpowers would inevitably involve nuclear weapons.
And needless to say, any nuclear war does not only affect the nations battling it out, but also their neighbors.
Dr Peter Roberts, director of military sciences at the Royal United Services Institute, on the other hand, had no qualms about who would be on the losing side. “America would take military losses. They would lose thousands and thousands [of personnel]. But China would be utterly defeated,” he said.
He also added that the kind of harmony achieved between the four branches of military in the U.S. is unparalleled. China, according to Roberts, lacks the level of experience in combat than the United States possesses. Kerry Brown, professor of Chinese studies and director of King’s College London’s Lau China Institute concurred with Roberts. “US naval superiority is massive. And if we are talking just military, then for sure, a conflict right beside China would hurt China more than the US,” said Brown.
