Is anyone afraid this is going to lead to nuclear war? Or an engagement that destroys us?
This feels much riskier than the Cold War. The mood of that time was one where school children practiced ducking under their desks in preparation for nuclear attack.
China isn't a weak adversary, and they really hate us according to their propaganda and rhetoric.
They have hypersonic nuclear weapons and could possibly pull off a first strike against our nuke sites. If they can also track our subs, maybe they'd try to disable us.
Their navy and armament are rapidly approaching parity. With their economy, it'll likely surpass us.
We aren't the manufacturing power house that won WWII and churned out naval ships on a weekly basis anymore. China is, and they have a ton of dry docks busy building right now.

What's the game plan?
