I hav the impression that the Chiense think the American carriers - the prime weapon of the US navy - are no longer a credible threat to them. Such self-confidence must have reasons. I read the US wants to sail a carrier group through the street of Taiwan. Why a carrier? I do not rule out that they get pearl-harboured again. And this time they will not be able to industrially outperform the enemy later on, industrially.
The times for this kind of careless behaviour are over, China is ni military dwarf anymore. Sent a conventional flotilla to cruise in the strait of Taiwan. But not carriers. Thats simply is stupid. You do not present your trump cards to the enemy in this way. He might be too tempted as if he could resist any longer. Starting a war with the US navy with having taken one carrier group already out in the beginning is tempting. Very.

Of course the will to escalate lay in the hand of the Chinese.
burde me I didn't think that way..
One thing do I know China couldn't care less about USA. If China wants to invade Taiwan they will do so.
Edit
The Chinese do care about the American military-Only an unwise would see them self as superior.
They will however take Taiwan when they feel for it
