Perhaps the biggest problem for the Chinese will be . . . the Japanese. China’s navy is coastal and near coastal, with only about 10 percent of its surface combatants capable of sailing more than 1,000 miles from shore. Very few can sail more than 2,000 miles. China has no real allies (except maybe North Korea), so projecting power . . . anywhere is a hilarious impossibility.
