Rear Admiral Michael McDevitt, US Navy (Ret.)
Senior Fellow, CNA Strategic Studies; Former Director of Strategy, War Plans and Policy, US Pacific Command
The United States has been the dominant maritime power in the Pacific since the end of World War II. But in recent years China has developed its naval and maritime projection forces while becoming increasingly forward in asserting its own regional interests and ambitions. It has disputed maritime claims with Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, and other neighboring states, and is developing an increasingly capable and modern navy. As China's sea power grows, how will this alter the wider balance of power in Asia? And how should the United States respond?
Rear Admiral Michael McDevitt is a senior fellow with CNA Strategic Studies. Prior to his current position, McDevitt served as the director of Strategy, War Plans, and Policy for US Pacific Command. During his navy career, McDevitt spent his operational time in the Pacific and held four at-sea commands, including an aircraft carrier battle group. He was the director of the East Asia Policy office for the Secretary of Defense during the George H.W. Bush Administration. McDevitt concluded his 34 year active duty career as the Commandant of the National War College and then spent a year in residence at the US Naval War College as a member of the Chief of Naval Operations' Strategic Studies Group.

This guy knows his stuff. Different from typical underestimation of Chinese capabilities.
I understood that the Ukranian carrier did, indeed, have its engineering plant intact, that it was all part of the massive deception to leave us with the idea that the ship was completely demilitarised.
Fundamentals China,"s goals at sea are tied to her growing energy requirements. Her ambition in the South China sea is her hope to offshore oil and gas. Additionally it isn't lost on China that the US has dominated the Middle East by having a bluewater Navy capable of expeditionary power projection. China wants to emulate us because ultimately they need Middle Eastern oil and gas.
I hope there are enough rational people in the US government who reject wars to resolve conflicts. America has been involved in over hundreds of war since the 18th century. We become the world hegemon, mainly by force and intimidation. Wev’e got huge national debt for future generations, crumbling infrastructure as a result. In the 21st century No one country can destroy another to complete defeat without risking thermonuclear war. It will mean mutual annihilation.
It's a little more complex than that.
