it’s already got the USS Sullivans as part of its escort and VMFA-211 aboard as part of its air wing. That’s without knowing what submarine escort it might have or long range EW/Elint and other airborne support.
What more do you want?
It depends upon what the Chinese show up with I should think.
If they get very snotty about it all....it might take a bit more than is tagging along for the ride currently.
Surely the Chinese are smart enough to know where to draw the line....so to speak.
They do not want to trigger a genuine shooter up....yet we better hope or it could get messy quick.
