It is a moot point.
If you are going up against a near peer opponent, they will have a lot of other ways to kill a ship, 150km, 200km, 300km and up, land fire support mission, open water engagement etc.

Type 054B frigate makes carrier force debut with Liaoning for live-fire drills
No sign of J-35 stealth fighter but the PLA Navy’s newest and most advanced frigate makes its carrier force debut.

PLAN Newest Frigate class the type 054B already join Liaoning Carrier Group during exercise near Philippines water. Still I put in here more on the talk of both STOBAR Carrier (Liaoning and Shandong) are being modified to be able operate J-35.
CATOBAR fighter being use in STOBAR is not new. In fact India final contender for their new STOBAR carriers is CATOBAR Fighter. Still if J-35 able to operate from both PLAN STOBAR carrier, means all 3 carrier now will using same fighters configuration (J-15 and J-35). Wondering though how realistic the speculation on Chinese forums on modified both STOBAR carrier with one EMALS in the angle deck. This to make both Liaoning and Shandong also able to operate PLAN AEW&C.
