However, rule of naval this and that is straightforward, that the side with larger, longer reaching, harder hitting, faster moving (ships and trucks, and missiles (hypersonic)) more likely wins, especially if closer and closer to own shore.
IOW, China would win in Western Pacific, Indian Ocean, and S China Sea, because its anti-ship missiles are comprised of a curation of sea-skimming supersonics, harder-hitting ballistics, faster-slamming hypersonic sorts, meaning Team US cannot fight through the Pacific Ocean west of Hawaii to get near to on-station, and does not have the reach going toe-to-toe once near on-station, and would be greeted every which ways by trucks and ships and submarines way before the flotilla can launch planes and fire rockets.
Team USA has no anti-ship ballistic missiles and has no counter to hypersonic anything, because it has no hypersonic anything.
