Fair. What I mean is, it would be something where they are willing to risk a direct confrontation with the other major maritime powers. One that would probably result in the USN taking a beating but the PLAN getting wiped out.

The PLAN is not strong enough to threaten the USN if they put thiwr full might into it.
The PLAN would be wiped out within hours...
@Sailor.X you are the Navy guy, what do you say?
The PLAN isn't even a second-rate Navy; it's a third-rate Navy with ambitions of growing into a second-rate Navy. What potentially threatens the USN's ability to operate within the South China Sea is the PLA's long range land based assets, with the PLAN at best taking an auxiliary role.
Any Naval Operation China would try would literally end up with there fleet sunk by Seawolves, Los Angeles Classes and Virginias. Their surface fleet are all targets after all.

I won’t dispute that, but given that there would likely be PLA and PLAAF assets (if we’re talking about operations in the vicinity of mainland China), wouldn’t they at least inflict some damage?
I don’t necessarily mean their DF-21s sink all our carriers, but I would imagine the USN isn’t going to get off scot free, at least in terms of escorts and such (doubt the PLA could get one carrier unless they send their entire fleet on a one way trip).
Not really they can use Sub Launched Harpoons near the edge of their range and dive deep into the deep blue. And repeat that over and over again.

And III MEF on Okinawa to also help with ground and air support. Hey, I’m perfectly happy to be wrong about the USN sustaining losses to China.
The ground assets arnt as good as you think
I would say it's more a matter of China simply not having any offensive assets that the United States hasn't had decades to plan and develop multiple layers of countermeasures against. The DF-21 is the only thing they field that is even remotely unconventional, but the SM-6 is capable of terminal phase ballistic intercept, on top of the extreme difficulty involved in actually locating a CVBG accurately enough to target and launch a ballistic missile on it.
Oh of course. There is footage of a USM ship taking out a ICBM counfer measure and succeeded
Why communist party using capitalist economy need national support ? all chineese must support them,or else.
Besides,USA budget about 2040 really is going dawn,so all China need is 20 years wait.
Unless their friend Biden made it less.

Infographics show made a video on this subject, not entirely sure on his reputability but it's still somewhat relevant.

Is it worth it? In my own opinion, yes. If it were my way I would go to war just to shit on the Communist. I usually don't hate people based on their political parties, not even Nazis! But god all mighty I HATE Communist with a burning passion.
we should rather feel pity for them - they dedicated themselves to create impossible - earthy paradise.But....only Saints could do so.
So,i hate them,too,becouse i am not Saint.
P.S China is no longer commie country - it is oligarchy caring only about keeping power,not creating some particular system.
So,you should rather fight North Korea,Kamala or antifa if you want fight commies.
