Sorry, poor phrasing on my part. What I meant to ask was whether US CVBGs would likely face any other air threat than the one posed by the PLANAF. I agree though that the Chinese sub force represents their most viable method to attack and deter the USN.

If I understand correctly, you mean that although the PLAF would have to cross water in order to hit Taiwan, that would not be the same sort of challenge as finding and striking a carrier group and something that is well within their capabilities.
