You are correct on that. That's how the US Navy dominates the world's oceans. They force any potential enemy to fight a LONG way from American territory. Americans prefer to fight in YOUR backyard because in any case it's YOUR backyard that get's destroyed.The best defence for China's East Coast is a strong PLAN capable of destroying an invading force before it reaches the coast, and with carriers that can force the enemy to fight in the open ocean.
Right now, the PLAN is more or less sufficent for costal defence but is not powerful enough to dominate the eastern Pacific, which is truly necessary to defend China. As China's economy is now integrated with the worlds, simply denying China use of the seas around it may be as big of a blow as an invasion.
One more of these and you will get officical warning!!!
