Battleborn --
As I understand it, China only operates diesel submarines, which are at significant disadvantage against our nuclear-powered arsenal. I can't help but think that we have nearly every - if not all of them - Chinese submarine tracked. Heck -- we did with the Soviets.

China has had nuclear submarines for some time now. Their early versions were not very effective, but they are coming along and building more and more capable subs. |

At this point I'm more concerned with the KILO class diesel/electrics they are buying from Russia and domestically built boats of similar capability. Once dived and running quiet in coastal waters those are very hard to track, and I'd be just a tad leary about taking an LA class or SEAWOLF into coastal shallows. The diesel has the advantage there.
