I think that PLAN will be in for a world of hurt. I wish the Administration would take the Chinese threat more seriously, but I guarantee if things look like the Taiwan thing will come to a head, there'l be so many 688 boats out there that if they surfaced tyou could walk from Taipei to Hong Kong. And they will kill the Chinese subs. Being a Chinese sub driver on day one of the Sino-American War will be as safe as wearing cement shoes to go swimming.

Not to mention the P-3s and Vikings. And the Japanese have a pretty tight ASW drill.
Twenty years to 3 to 1? With all due respect to the Admiral, PLAN subs won't make that mark.
