This paper is designed to negate the one system wins wars thought process that seems to be prevalent to the boards. here is what we know of the PRC combat power for the Asia battle space.
1.Biggest threat is about 270+ Su-27/30, 70-100 J-10, 70-100 JH-7, 500 J-8, 500 J-7 500 Q-5 120 H-6.That is bout 2,000 fighter aircraft and all of these aircraft are fairly modern or have been modernized to fire PGM,ASM and BVR missile not to mention land attack cruise missiles
2.Land based Missiles and Drones. Both ballistic and cruise compounded with Harpy attack drones. They will be able to launch about 1,000 of these in 16 hours. then there are things we don't know about.
3. Subs. will Surge 20+ fairly high quality boats that will give any navy fits to some degree.
4. surface fleet. very large numerically, most armed with High quality ASM.
5. information technology. a huge leap forward in netsentric warfare and situational awareness to combine these forces and to make cyber attacks against the OPFOR.
6. Intangibles and training. PRC military commander are not the commanders of 10 years ago. They learn and adapt much quicker. Pilots are given lasik surgery to have 20-10 vision with reports of many having more flying time than even American naval aviators. This is not a stupid force but one that is young, resourcful and AGGRESSIVE.
In closing all of this compounded together to create a organized strike packages can and will be very successful in the event of war. I would predict the PRC would be very successful in the first 30 days of any conflict depending on the OPFOR. The PRC does have a answer for the 20+ F-22 in Japan, carrier battle groups. Their biggest obstacle is the U.S submarine fleet which they are working on.
I think they also Believe they are going to take hits from both B-2 and cruise missiles but believe they can absorb such hits through system redundancy.
if the PRC are able to get a 60+ strike package to hit a carrier group and they sink a carrier killing 5,000 Americans. two things will happen. 1.U.S backs off or 2. Goes total war...that will depend on the president. If it is a liberal female it will be 1. If it is a conservative male then 2
