Dumb shits think it'd be a great victory to sink even a single US carrier. US supercarriers are such powerful and prestigious military assets that even the destruction of a single one will invite possible nuclear retaliation from the US over them. You sink two to four of them? Get ready to see your entire country turned into glass.

Your view is simplistic. Need to look at a bigger picture....

No nuke armed country ever dare to assume they can achieve  "great victory" in any nuclear exchange - Every one will lose.
TW conflict can easily escalate to WW3 between CN and US, which isn't even a worst case scenario, as other powers like Russia and NATO will be drawn in... Obviously MAD so far has worked...

You got to ask - If US, Russia nor China cannot effort to fight a nuclear war, then why risk getting into a preventable TW conflict when the World and UN already recognised the Island Province as part of China 52 years age after a UN Resolution was passed, which SG was one of the supporter ?
