None of my collegues at ONI and USPACOM would share your assessment. There are a lot of gaps, but we do know large baseline capabilities as demonstrated by what they do and don’t do. And other stuff :P
Understood.
In no way intending any disrespect to ONI, and especially the great scholarship that comes out of the Navy War College (CMSI) - top notch scholarship.
I just look at China from a different vantage point which colors all my assessments - even if they may off the mark at times. It’s the unknown unknowns which always seem to come in abundance with China and make me worry.
