How dare the devious Chinese use missiles to defend their coasts! That's unfair to the US military's expensive toys! /s
The author's proposed solutions are to deploy hypersonic missiles (which China has more of while the US still doesn't have any ready), drones (which China leads the world in), and long-range ballistic missiles (which China has more of, and also look too much like nukes).
That's kind of the crux of it, Chinese industrial power is order of magnitude larger than the US. On top of that, China would be fighting on their land while the US would be forced to ship weapons half way across the world. Even with support from their puppets in Japan, Korea, and the Philippines it's clearly a losing game.
and in shipbuilding it's 200:1
