China’s navy is inadequate. It seems designed to control littorals, a very tough job.

It is not a global blue water navy able to control far away maritime choke points for energy or food imports, on which it relies. Kazakhstan isn’t enough, and is easily disrupted. Strategic reserves eventually run out. Social chaos in China is historically inevitable.
