This is only partly true. Battleships were rendered irrelevant by carriers. But nothing has replaced carriers in naval battles yet. All advancements since WWII had revolved around carriers by extending their range, improving their protections, and weapons to sink them.
US carriers can easily strike China from beyond the reach of Chinese missiles. Chinese submarines aren't silent as their US counterparts. Chinese fighters will not easily get within range to hit the carrier before getting intercepted.
But for China, even with a carrier battle group, their navy is still no match for the US navy, and they lack the means to protect it as well.
