"able to pursue economic growth" = able to be slaves to US hegemony and global Capital. :amerikkka: twitter link I hope to see PLA ships as close to the US mainland as the US sends it's ships to China. :arm-L::xi-beard::arm-R:

There's a bitter debate in military academia over whether carriers can still function against an equal enemy, given that guided missile technology just keeps getting better. And both sides have their points, but the missile people are right, so don't expect that spotless record to survive into any war.
It's not just a "spotless record" that's at risk. War games with the US carrier fleet in a war near Taiwan/the South China Sea have a very similar outcome to the famous "Millennium Challenge" with Iran - Yanqui goes home to Hell
It's gonna stay a bitter debate since the navy neanderthals would like to not get fucking owned and keep their proud record of never loosing (by never fighting)
