In a naval throw-down between China and the US, who would come out on top? I really can't think of a more specific scenario, because I'm only somewhat familiar with how warfare is conducted, but lets just say the goal is to render the opponent's naval capabilities a non-threat. Have any wargames on this been conducted before? Simulations?

Sit, wait, ambush.
Ambush is poorly right now.

More like sit, wait, wait, wait then go back home because the CBG passed by hundreds of miles to the south.
Amazing what the difference not announcing where you're going to be makes.

There's nothing so bad as having your arse handed to you on a plate.
For real instead of on an exercise.

What, China would just entirely fail to even engage with US forces? That's relieving if true.

It's a big pile ships which is easy to follow with a satellite

Here's everything you need to know-

Tl;dr- costly for both sides, very possibly inconclusive, not likely to go nuclear.
When it's all done, China comes out slightly second best.

You should be careful, otherwise your CBG will fall off the rim of the disk

Pretty much China would turtle up near their coast after initial engagements. The US would wreck the Island bases and then a stale mate would ensure as neither would enter each other's primary engagement range without a true driving goal or reason.

Came here to post this. The upshot is that present day or near future China doesn't have a scenario that looks much like a win.
