China's Expanding Carrier Fleet Struggles Against Advanced Submarine Threats
China's growing aircraft carrier fleet is venturing deeper into the Pacific as part of a broader strategy to project military power in the region. However, this expansion exposes the carriers to significant threats from adversaries such as the United States and Japan, both of which operate highly advanced submarine forces capable of launching undetected attacks.
