Re: War Plans for PLAN
Send 054 frigates (for ASW) and 052s to provide area air defense with both Type 71s to land after bombing whatever atoll they were attacking heavily with land based aircraft. Diesel subs like the Kilos could provide a sub screen and, if necessary Sovs could provide the anti-ship punch for the force that would be absent without a carrier. The Marine Corps has more than enough troops and resources.
However, this operation is very unlikely because there isn't much for China to gain from it and China seems to have moved past the days in which it would snatch territory from its neighbors.
