Until the US Navy gets an aircraft with a range of 1000 miles or more aircraft carriers should stay away from China. Let the air force bombers and navy submarines do the fighting. Carriers can go after any blue water ships China deploys.
I can’t see China invading Taiwan. I think they will blockade Taiwan, destroying their economy. During the starving of Taiwan by blockade an agreement among the two warring Chinese factions will be arrived at. Unless, of course, the fools in DC attempt to destroy the Chicom blockading forces. The loss of a US carrier in the South China Sea will most likely be the catalyst for an eventual nuclear exchange between the US and China.
