Apparently some Chinese military officials think that by sinking an American aircraft carrier in a surprise attack, they would drive the U.S. out of a war to conquer Taiwan.
It's a remarkably similar strategy to Japan's Pearl Harbor strike, which hoped to frighten the U.S. into submission. It didn't work too well for Japan.
The difference, of course, is that America now, unlike in 1941, has a massive fifth column that roots for the other side.
