War with the Chicoms?

Washington Post:
From unmanned fighters to orbital lasers, how the U.S. and China could fight a war

From unmanned fighters to orbital lasers, how the U.S. and China could fight a war


A new novel by Washington think tankers uses real-world technologies to explore the future of warfare.
China will try to take away the US technical advantages by destroying satellites and other means of intelligence.  It will also try to destroy the carrier fleet that would be brought to bear against Chinese aggression.   I suspect that their cyber war will also advance far beyond its current theft of trade secrets and data.  It is less clear what the US would do in response although it will probably have defensive satellite capabilities.  Long range drones will allow carriers to loiter out of range of most of China's carrier killer missiles.
