Chinese Want To Break American Will

There are two factors in war, Means and Will? In World War II America attacked Hitler's means with the incessant bombing of Germany. However, German Will had been broken before Germany's capitulation occurred. Hitler's Germany failed using an invincible ideology to win the battlefront. Robert E Lee failed at Gettysburg battle to break the North's will for war and Lee knew there would be no Southern victory of the war because Northern Will remained intact after Gettysburg. The North already had superior resources and troop numbers. If Means equal 1 and Will equal 1, then 1x1='s 1. But if Will is reduced to 0 then 1x0=0. Will at 0 wins the war for one side and loses for the other side. The Chinese know this axiom of war. The nation with the greatest means and greatest Will win the war. The goal is to defeat an adversary by driving its Will to 0.

China is looking at a missile shot against a US aircraft carrier (Ford class) in order to sink it and break Americas Will for an Asian sphere of influence throughout the region. America knows this as does China. A war from means, suggests, the battle continues until some nation's Will is reduced to 0. Loss of means can also reduce Will to 0 in a hurry. 

The South started its fight with the North having little or no means compared with its adversary, the North. China would like to destroy American will out of Asia. Losing an American aircraft carrier is a gamble because America already has 12 more carriers in stock and American resolve will grow with the angst of losing one of its carriers. China would have to show a greater act of war than one missile shot at American real estate. It finds itself in the same position Japan held at the onset of WWII. The American will is that sleeping giant Japan feared. Means came along after America awoke and won WWWII. The Atomic Bomb destroyed Japan's Will. Germany lost its Will on the frozen sod of Russia

China is tinkering with destroying American Will through disruptive measures. Politics in this country is the most vulnerable target which is why Russia tries to influence politics the most because it has lost its "means" race against America. China is building means but probably cannot catch the US any time soon with its own means and can only hope to destroy its Will which is uncertainty with a most likely destructive outcome. Risk of failure is too high for China at this time when attempting a sinking of a US Aircraft Carrier.
