Hit it with a very small nuke, and tell them it was a newly devleoped top-secret warhead that is nonnuclear.

not that this post deserves a response, but please, get real

if the Us sends a cvbg, nuke it with some nuke moskits. i dont believe it is illegal. Us carriers take ten years to build, and now you can vaporize them in a second.

You actually want the PLAN to do that? If the PLAN uses nukes, do you think that the US will just sit back and take hits? Sure, you can probably wipe out two or three carrier groups, but much of China's military would be vaporized as well. So nukes are not an option.

Just think of this as a Pakistan/India scenario: if the IN is going to blockade Karachi, will the PN use nukes? I hardly doubt it. The best the PN could do in preventing the IN from blockading Karachi would be to make very good use of its subs and aircraft. The same goes for the PLAN: it is possible to bog down the USN if the PLAN chooses to fight smartly. Using nukes is not a very smart idea.

if china nukes the cvbg in the middle of the ocean, than thats legal. then the chinese send all ships and planes back to mainland, where the U.s isn't allowed to hit them because there will be civilian casualties.

a tactical nukes isn't much different from a powerful coventianal missle, so dont treat it the same as a hiroshima bomb.

LOL, then China would cease to exist.

CHina can't survive a nuclear first strike. All that history, from the Shang Dynasty 1200BC to PRC 2005AD will be gone.

The biggest threat to US hegemony is gone and all it took was the lost of one carrier battle group. I call that a bargain.

There is no such thing as legal or illegal in the international scene. IF the US decides to nuke the entire Chinese mainland, there is no police to arrest it.

All of California (you die), Oregon, Washington (I die), as well as a lot of other major cities, like DC, New York, Chicago, and Detroit, just to name a few, will all cease to exist. And about 200 million Chinese in underground bunkers will survive.

Then that would kinda suck.

you do realize that China has the strike back capability with the 094 nuclear sub, right? Don't make me laugh with the ballistic missle defense garbage.
