Eeeeehhh, if you just look at numbers of boats, yes. The US Navy has far, far more experience, though. Drones are also going to change the game in ways we’re only starting to see with the Ukraine War. With that, the answer might be “everyone’s boats are sunk now”.
China probably couldn’t gain air superiority over Taiwan, and without that, an invasion will fail. That will be true even if the US ends up losing more boats.
Except they have the largest nuclear arsenal and the world biggest navy. They can’t be ignored.
My brother-in-law is career Navy and he says they’d get mopped by the Chinese.

Only “solution” I see is civil war. The nukes are still a problem for the rest of the world though
