Too many variables to take into account eg invading? defending? What type of ground? etc etc. But in a pitched conflict, I would say taht the Americans would win, simple fact that they have better trained troops, and good military weaponary.

Britain would feeature quite low down, theres just not many of them around to do much.

China, is a lumbering nation. It would lose an invasion. Due to poorly trained troops, and quite bad equipments.

That is why, if you notice its strategy is to defeat America economically. ie tehy are joined to the hips, so taht in a war between America/China, they would economically take America down with it.

China also seems to be avouiding conflicts and bidding its time when America is on the wane. Tahts when you would see more agression.

Yeah, it's something ridiculously small like 7 miles between them at their closest point. It's just that nobody actually lives in those parts, which would have been very unfortunate for Europe in the event of a superpower war.

Yanks, better trained? yeah, right.

They have better equipment, i'll give you that. But American soldiers have been known to call for airstrikes, giving THEIR position as the target. Their tactics and skills are crap.
