I read an article some time ago dealing with a future NO mans sea senario, and some important questions came up.
http://breakingdefense.com/2015/04/no-mans-sea-csbas-lethal-vision-of-future-naval-war/
1. What kind of missile and air forces would the Chinese need, to keep the Arrogant American interlopers out of the South China sea and beyond?
2. How many carriers and escort groups?
3. Can China impose enough of its will through a missile backed no sail/ no fly zone.
4. Does China have the ASW and ISR assets to make it all work.
Keep in mind China may have to keep the U S. At bay, while at the same time invading Taiwan, and Vietnam, to deny the enemy basing. If the Mighy Chinese can frighten the cowardly U.S. navy, and there Japanese escorts they will rule 1st Asia and then the WORLD!!
