One or even two CVN's, although very potent, aren't really a match for the US pacific fleet in a real fight. It is however a huge step up in their ability to project power throughout their sphere of influence in the western pacific, specifically aimed at Taiwan I would guess.

Time will tell if they're satisfied with a couple of carriers or if they just keep pumping them out like Wal-Mart TV sets and become a bigger threat...
