  1. Electronic warfare, blinding the long-range sensors and possibly making a Chinese missile mistake a container ship for a similarly sized aircraft carrier, or an airliner for an aerial tanker (missiles themselves don't have the computing power to discriminate approaching targets very well). Scaring off civilian traffic would make China's massive missile stock a liability, and introduce huge strategic difficulties paying for overland alternatives to all the food and fuel it needs to import.

  2. Especially their depot technicians and ground crews, who keep the vehicles rolling and planes aloft. I don't think there's ever been a time where the PLA activity has been stressed to the point where maintenance deviates from textbook standards and the crews have to start getting creative.
