The best solution is of course to avoid war. Both countries have plenty of nukes and would probably start using them if the other country got a foothold on the other's home soil.
Like most nations, China is on a path towards liberalization and will likely continue down that path in the future. Our best "weapon" with regards to China is probably continued economic and social interaction.
