Chinese leaders are crazy. They actually think that by sinking two U.S. aircraft carriers it will give them total control of the China Sea. It will start a war! Beijing announced its intention saying it had activated the ship killer ballistic missile system.
The attack system was introduced in April 2018. China seems to be trigger happy to use it. Deployment is intended to strike vessels passing through the East and China sea. The belief that it can do this with impunity is misplaced. There will definitely be a military response.
Two U.S. aircraft carriers have just passed though the disputed region. They are operating under the international rules of the sea which allows free passage of any vessel from any country needing to travel through the area.
The American vessels ignored the warnings and threat of Chinese aircraft and warships sent to send them away. Trump has no patience. It seems the Chinese leadership has a patience problem as well. They will have to curb their impetuosity.
Though the U.S. is outspoken about most things, it keeps its new military hardware very secret indeed. Ballistic is old hat. One can be sure that the Americans have something much better. Having truck-mounted weapons is very "North Korea". The U.S. will just wipe out fixed Chinese military bases in retaliation.
