>The USA has a lot of Aircraft Carriers, none of which could withstand 50 time-on-target (hit at the same time) ship killers at 5000 MPH. China could easily deal with them all.

Do you have any source on China's missile defense?

Just youtube? But they have lower cost and numbers and even if their missiles are inferior they will be in a position to swamp US defences of non nuclear missles by numbers alone. Keep firing until the carriers are out of planes and out of ammo the planes only have 4 to 8 missiles each. Once it goes nuclear then the US forces will deploy the boomers etc and we will all hide and hope we emerge one day?

You might be interested in watching the 70th National Day anniversary to conclude what others in the military might have concluded; China has some military superiority. These are just the highlights [1].

I saw a lot of people marching in uniform together and flying fighter planes and wearing suits and making speeches. What did I miss? Not quite sure where the superiority in that video is.

It was the highlights, most of the full video shows China flexing its military powers. Whatever man, we could all live in our bubbles and not admit that other countries have a more disciplined military and one that might produce and showcase offensive weapons that are a modern threat.
