If we ever go to war with china...

They would never get off their boats!

I understand where you're going and in large part agree with you. That said, the PLA and all it's wings are far more powerful than they once were.

They do have advanced sunburn missiles capable of hitting our ships. For this reason, we've moved surface vessels further out away from the Taiwan strait. They have submarines capable of launching strikes. They've been working anti-satellite technology for years. They've gained stealth technology.

I think it's a mistake to underestimate them. WWII Japan...very formidable. We fried them in the end, but Japanese forces were no push over.
