You should study naval warfare capabilities. After a career in electronic warfare in the Navy that required me to be an expert in naval warfare capabilities of potential adversaries, I have maintained that interest.
Key point: Beijing invested in its submarines over the last few decades to ensure it could hold American carriers at risk. In 1995 and 1996, Taiwanese politicians signaled greater support for declaring their island country officially independent of China. Beijing’s response was swift, forceful …...

The article has an interesting shortcoming of the Chinese submarines: they're all diesel... Except that's not a shortcoming at all when it comes to killing our aircraft carriers. Diesel boats are dead silent and a Chinese model successfully penetrated our anti-submarine defenses as far back as 2007, popping up in the middle of a carrier task force.
American military chiefs have been left dumbstruck by an undetected Chinese submarine popping up at the heart of a recent Pacific exercise and close to a 1,000ft supercarrier with 4,500 personnel on board

Diesel subs are limited in range at 14k miles where a nuke sub only has to come back for supplies.
While diesel electrics are quiet they have to refuel and surface at some point which makes them vulnerable along with their refueling tankers.
And you can bet we know where those points will be.
I gave you the link about the Chinese diesel sub that surfaced in the middle of a carrier task force. Your love for America and your patriotism are commendable but they lead you to assumptions that just aren't based in reality.
You realize that Shanghai is only 6100 miles from San Francisco, right? And, though it is not a straight line route, carrier hunting is far easier than sub hunting. You also realize, I hope, that our carriers are no threat at all to China until they're within about 700 miles of China.
I'll give you one point - their Navy is not as strong, relative to our current Navy, as Japan's was, relative to our 1941 Navy. Even so, they could wreak deadly havoc on us today. Imagine what 10 more years will give them.
China is projected to have the world’s largest navy in the next 10 to 15 years, according to a United States-based military forum.

The coming decade of development will significantly reduce, but not eliminate, the gap between China’s navy — already the second most powerful maritime force on the planet — and the U.S. Navy by 2030. All fitted out, China’s second-ever aircraft carrier — and the first built entirely in China —...

Making predictions for the Chinese Navy a decade in advance is difficult given the PLA’s overall opacity.

Interestingly, China is working hard to increase their amphibious fleet and landing crafts. There's not much worry that they could deploy enough men to the United States to be a big problem during a war (but afterwards it could be different if we lost the war or Biden surrendered). The only purpose of an amphibious fleet is to take land. China is clearly preparing for landing somewhere and it's not the United States. The rest of the South Pacific is their target - perhaps even Australia. When the Chinese attack the Philippines, Malaysia, or Indonesia, do we sit and do nothing?
What about their new navy base in Djibouti?
A cornerstone of the Chinese Navy's increasing global reach will be a naval base in Djibouti. Recent satellite images point to extensive work on the piers and, possibly, a second pier or quay under constriction.

They're also building a port in Myanmar (linked in the above page). As they expand into the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, they don't have far to go to get to our carriers; we bring them right to the Chinese.
It's naive to think that even the biggest and meanest kid on the block can't get whipped by someone who plans and waits for the right time and conditions.
