At the very least, there would be a heighten alert through out Asia and more than likely, ships would be steaming out of harbour. Whether they actually engage in combat or not would be up to the then sitting President. The likes of Jimmy Carter would probably sit back. The likes of Ronald Reagan would sink the entire Chinese fleet.
