Not saying that I don't agree with the sentiments of this thread and that we need to pay more attention to our heavy armored forces. Not for Asia, but for Europe.
A land war IN China and ground combat AGAINST China are different things, though you are correct that any conflict with China would be a mostly air / naval / space affair. I should have been more clear, the ground concerns were mainly aimed at Russia. That said, capabilities that our ground forces rely on these days lie GPS, satellite communications, ISR, and general radio comms are all threatened by capabilities both countries have developed.
