The problem the Chinese fleet has is zero operational experience. Their carriers are barely capable of peacetime air operations. You’re making the same mistake everyone made about the Russian army a year ago, big on numbers and big on hardware so big on threat. But all that hardware doesn’t do you much good if the actual soldiers (or seamen) have no idea how to function in an actual war.
