One Chinese Admiral's Approach to the U.S: "Bomb Its Carriers at Sea"

Lou Yuan, deputy chief of the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences, is often called China's Curtis LeMay for his bellicose and hawkish statements, including that the PLA should attack and sink America's aircraft carriers.

Key point: No senior U.S. official could remain in office if they did not respond forcefully to the sinking of U.S. carriers, the very symbol of American power and prestige.

Admiral Lou Yuan is China’s Curtis LeMay.

LeMay, the U.S. Air Force general who torched Japanese cities and later headed Strategic Air Command, was notorious for his bellicosity. In the 1950s and during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he tried to get the U.S. to launch a nuclear first strike against the Soviet Union: during the Vietnam War, he urged bombing North Vietnam “back to the Stone Age.”

I have to wonder if the Chinese "solution" is "disinformation."  Planes would give too much advance warning to get to a carrier.  Surface ships would be way too slow.  Submarines with hypersonic missiles seems the only real option.
