I pretty sure a measured response to this situation will suit China fine, I mean with the kind of money being rammed through American congress only to get marginal returns at best and most of that money basically used to enrich the elites with most of the weapons produced isn’t some state of the art weapon but relics from the past that are no longer cream of the crop in Terms of capability, I think the USA is all but resembling the late Qing in everything but the name. Although unlike the Qing dynasty and the advent of China after wards, I am certain that with the people as detached from reality that they are, that this future downfall that will happen sooner or later will not have any one to help pick up the pieces again since well, I can safely say that even in the Qing dynasty, they are signs of reformers that Brought China out of the ashes, the USA doesn’t have such heroes, they have fat pigs that keep on screaming for more money that is soon going to lose all value in the coming days along with these letter institutes that will eventually end up on a global hunting campaign when the time comes. Honestly, people can warn the USA of the danger but the people in the seats of power are too pig headed to listen, I mean just look at the walking vegetable called Biden falling down the stairs repeatedly for the hundredth time any idiot would send him to a home but not in the USA it seems given how over priced it must be right now

It is not the carrier but human capital that operate, maintain, built and develop it. You are looking at industrial chain that goes into hundreds of thousands of people for essentially providing a large target at sea. US has geography and distributive power advantage.
if any other country built such large ship yard. it will attract cruise missiles on scale that has never happened before and these carrier will be floating rust bucket at sea without support for next deployment.
look closely looked at Ukraine war. all the drones and cruise missiles from Ukraine goes where there is relatively flat surface. it never pass the Caucasus mountains.
Is this true? I seem to recall all the US carriers are nuclear powered?
Yup, the last conventional carrier was the Kitty Hawk which was stalked by a Chinese sub during a naval exercise with Japan.
US is more likely to encourage it's frontline vassal states to sacrifice themselves to preserve US hegemony, but ever since Korea and Vietnam, US has been too casualty adverse to sacrifice the troops necessary to dominate China. The US military has advantages, but still require great sacrifice, does US has the political willpower to endure? Best sacrifice the lambs like Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine as proxy wars.
Well bro they can't fleece the American consumer forever, an example is a $100,000 for a gas guzzling F150 truck. At such amount how can the average Joe pay for it not including the cost of running and maintaining it.
But likewise for the sacrificial vassals, their military positions relative to China's are weakening by the day. Wouldn't they try to commence hostilities as early as possible for the best odds of winning as well? In no circumstance does Japan find fighting a China with 4 CVNs, stealth bombers, 1K+ 5th gen fighters more favorable than as things stand right now.
