I don't know. It seems like a pretty difficult thing to do, but China has a space program.

There's one other thing I've heard about, which is that almost all oil inbound to eastern China goes through the Strait of Malacca, which is a 20 mile space between Singapore and Indonesia. If somebody was angry with China, for, say, invading Taiwan, they could cut off oil pretty easily and face China down with the limited amount of oil China has in reserve. That's where I'd send the carrier first, just to say, hey we might have a say here too.
