There may be a lot more of them, but they're really small. The average size runs about 3-4 feet.

Their army is malnourished and poorly trained to go with poor morale. They can’t project globally in a hot war. Worst they can do is scorched earth their homeland and stop all production and try to cripple the west with us not getting enough whatever fidget spinner of the day is being pumped in left and right. Walmart might go under. China is a joke.

I have a hard time believing there ships are a threat to our Navy.

They’re so expensive and huge that losing one in battle is almost inconceivable yet they are a very inviting target. A target that is becoming increasingly vulnerable to high speed cruise and ballistic missiles.
I'm aware of their carriers but they are no match for the Nimitz class right? Does the pace of building really matter?
If having carriers is an absolute must then we should have smaller, cheaper ones and more of them. And their mission should be focused on anti-surface/anti-submarine/sea-control rather than striking targets inland. We already have long range bombers and cruise missiles that are more than capable of taking that role from carrier based aviation.

It won’t matter if we are bankrupt.

So?
They're just cannon fodder. Hell, the PLA doesn't even issue body armor to their troops.

Their army is irrelevant imo. No one is fighting a land war with China. Their Navy and Air/Missile forces are what we need to be concerned about.

Yeah, their little island building campaign has built a pretty effective missile defense/air defense network

They’ve also laid underwater listening devices to track our ships and subs. How effective it is I have no idea but it’s there.

They certainly can't rely on their Soviet refurb carrier

Which is cheaper, the ship or the missile?
For those old enough to remember the Exocet and the Sheffield might be a clue.

Yeah, the Argentinean navy used the Exocet pretty effectively

That was a test bed, and a training tool.

When China develops their own long range hypersonic antiship missle watch out its game on

China has stealth aircraft and anti- ship missiles too. Russian designed anti-ship missiles.

I've heard their stealth aircraft are complete dogshit.

No, but brute force works when you’re defending your borders and coastal areas.
Projecting strength - that’s tough to do. The Chinese are still way behind there. And numbers are only a part of that equation.

Probably not as nice as ours, but they will have way more than we do.
