以下是美国防部＂能否战胜中国＂研究报告的最后结纶：
If the objective of is to destroy China as an economic power, yes.
If the objective of is to generate a change in government,a good chance.
If the objective is to occupy China,NO.
如果战争目的是摧毁中国经济，可以。
如果战争目的是建立一个新的政权，很大机会。
如果战争目的是占领中国，没可能。
以下是部份报告：报告中提到美军可用海上和空中的绝对优势打击中国的海岸线。
China does not have the naval or air power to match the United States, which is in a class of its own. There is a reason why the carrier groups are feared and China is rushing for its own. We could attack and acquire specific designated objectives, possibly indefinately, though occupying such a country is manifestly impossible. While occupation is mutually impossible, we could invite destruction upon their coastal cities, which consequently is where their economic power lies. They could not presently do the same to us. Even taking allies into account, the United States currently has the advantage with a number of allies or possible allies close to encircling China, and certainly able to cut off its vital maritime trade.
