This isn’t WW2. Ask the Desert Storm era Iraqi army how useful their overwhelming numbers were.

China will probably make the same mistakes as Iraq and Russia.

Soviet doctrine dies hard.

Overwhelming numbers and more technologically advance equipment. The Chinese Navy are state of the art while most of US existing flight is obsolete and they are unable to replace them in time. Youre comparing apples to rotten oranges here

I'm not the one living in an alternative reality, our reality have moved on from the time where US is far more power than everyone else combined. Sure the Chinese are still not as powerful as the US Navy overall. But they are more powerful than the Americans when they are fighting in their own backyard while the US needs to travel thousands of miles to fight them
