Of course a area denial system will have that effect...that's the point of it...But unless we can have a system in place to defend against it, before they can have the missiles ready to go...it will not do much good...and like I said...what ever system we put in place...all China is going to do..is spend money to overtake that system. The US is busy fighting wars all over the world right now..while china has one main focus...and that is..regional denial systems against our navy. in any race of us to be ready to defend against it, and them to have a system to defeat us...I am betting on the long term on China winning that battle. Build enough of this system, add to that the advancing anti ship missiles from subs China is also working on...even if we think our system works...you think we would be willing to bet a fleet on it unless we planned to go to war? I doubt it...newer and newer missile design I think it going in the end, make naval power less and less important.

and as you know, my overall view is...Bullets will always outpace armor

Missiles will always outpace anti missile systems..

Tank Rounds will always outpace tank armor..

and so on..sure at times it may catch up, but will be short lived.

and if you can't make it better, you can always win with numbers. and nothing the US does is going to change that in the end.
