It's a question of how much China is willing to spend. They would lose a lot of their export business because most western nations would impose a ban on Chinese products. That would probably be the determining factor as to how long China would last in a conflict.
A ban on Chinese products would cripple U.S. consumers. If China decides to risk it, they're best way to inflict maximum pain would be to invade Taiwan in October just in time to royally eff up the holiday season. I know you're fond of banning all Chinese products ASAP, but that is equally impossible right now, and may always be.
