Gaining carrier-killing capability is a top priority of the Chinese navy, its part of their doctrine. This event from 2021 is just a random story to me. In a real war there, I am quite certain that it would be the carriers being the hunted ones. And not necessarily by submarines, though subs will complicate the task of the carriers.

If the Chinese will take out carriers in a future war, then most likely by air missile and altered ICBM threats. Especially the latter is something that the Chinese navy also takes extremely important - like the US doctrine bases on carriers, the Chinese doctrine bases on keeping these carriers away - or taking them out.
