The main obstacle for the Chinese is not to destroy US carrier groups, they can do that already. To detect and pinpint them for the targetting - that is the thing. But no problem they cannot solve. Carriers and their escorts are neither invisible across the spectrum of light and radar, nor silent to sonar. Plus there are satellites.
My apologies, I should have added a smiley to accentuate the intended sarcasm.
