There is widespread international debate on the extent to which China's naval expansions pose a threat to U.S. dominance of the world's oceans. George Friedman and author and foreign affairs expert Robert Kaplan agree on China's ambition, but have very different views on its geopolitical impact.

how do u compare a US sub and ch sub? it's like comparing caddic and cherry

I don't agree with George that just Japan and not China is the major power in the East. If you take the big perspective, just two civilizations have been superpowers for most of the time in the last two millennia: the Graeco-Roman-Christian civilization and China. - with India already trailing quite behind those.
China has sufficient cultural and manpower resources to reach that superpower status again, after last centuries' setback. A typical setback happening every few centuries.

kaplan seems to have not spoken to chinese about what chinese really think - too bullish. friedman seems more neutral
-
Chinese submarines are so noisy they can be tracked in the 1st convergence (25km+). Their submarine fleet is undermanned, untrained and lacks adequate maintenance routines. Chinese ASW is practically non-existent. US SSNs could shut down Chinese shipping with little effort.

HACKED and bagged

Friedman still seems to think "bigger is better" in terms of warfare and conflict. The Chinese do not think this way. Understand that its diplomatic and strategic moves are subtle, much more so than American strategists.
And sea denial, Mr. Friedman, requires only the threat of a single sea mine to deny an entire carrier battle group.
