That is something the USA would not do thirty years ago. Then, the USA sent two aircraft carriers through the Taiwan Straits in 1995 and taunt China to respond. It was a humiliation and China spent the next thirty years figuring out a way to deal with such a threat.
It was to jolt China into finding a solution to the aircraft carrier problem and it was the beginning of the impetus that created the Chinese DF series of aircraft carrier killers, some capable of travelling at Mac 10 with AI controlled maneuverability that defies jamming. This has in turn turned the tables around with the USA now figuring out how to deal with such DF missiles travelling at hypersonic speed and approaching vertically from above, while interceptors were created to handle missiles coming from the sides.
China has deployed such DF warship killers all along its Eastern Coastline making sure that no USA aircraft carriers would dare to taunt China again unlike in the past.
