Yes, but by the time missiles were raining in Tokyo, every critical railway in China would be destroyed. It works both ways, 'ya know.

About Red Flag (the event your citing about the Indians beating the Americans): I'd love for you to post the results of that competition.

There's been a recent Red Flag event to involve our F-22's against any and all takers. The F-22 had the most lopsided victory: 244 kills, 2 losses over the 2 week competition. That was against the best pilots in NATO. And that includes simulated enemy ADA and comm jamming.

You should read up on the Mig-21 Bison training with Red Flag. The reason that the Indians were able to do anything to American Red Flag pilots was due to the fact that the Bison has a very small radar cross section, and it's difficult to track. You must remember that India has one of the better air forces in the world, as their older aircraft are extensively upgraded with American, Israeli and Russian electronics. If you read up on the Red Flag event, the SU-30MMK's piloted by the Indians were ironically LESS of a threat than the 21's.

Oh i'm certain that we would deal the chinese a devastating blow if we ever attacked them, I just doubt that we'd actually win, also lets not forget that if we ever went to war with China, Nort Korea would probably pour troops over the border to try and take advantage of our distraction with China (and heck if I were the Russians, i'd be eyeing Ukraine hungrily at that point)

Actually at the event the IAF were using only SU-30MK's, they've since upgraded them to MKI, but you're right about the Mig-21 Bisons being heavily upgraded over the stock mig-21, the cope mock combats had India winning nearly all of the mock combats as I recall, i'll have to see if I can find the actual results.  Also India has done well againt the RAF as well in multiple mock combats, even beating out the Eurofighter.

Well yes the F-22 is probably the best fighter in the world, it better be for how much the damn things cost, ironically, they may never be used in actual combat, such a waste of money.
