Stop while you are ahead.
I believe I quoted the range of their electric motors on batteries to be a couple hundred miles. That happened between Japan and Taiwan. Within the range of a diesel electric running silent on batteries. The difference between that and crossing the Pacific is significant.
Although I was already corrected in the fact that China has a few nuclear boats, the sub you are referencing was a Song-class diesel electric. They have a very short stealth range, but are near silent when on battery power. Again, these boats in combination with the possible five nuclear boats they have are not a threat to the 70 nuclear submarines the United States possess.
gents, it was an accident. and at this moment, there is a seaman (lol) who is in a whole lotta trouble!
. Sorry folks, you can all go back to what you were doing 
My guess,
So far I would put the odds of the event as follows:
1. riddler from batman 5%
2. Chinese sub 4%
3. Russian sub 4%
4. iPhone 5%
5. My neighbors potato gun that he has wanted to show me 5%
6. California SWAT team testing out the new home invasion technique to bust someone with a dime bag of weed since its still illegal after prop 19 failed 5%
7. Canadian duck hunters that got a little to excited about what they could legally shoot in the states 5%
8. Scene from the next Jackass movie where they strap some idiot to a rocket 5%
9. Surf creating a distraction while creating a new alias (for the record I like surf and wish he was still on ET ) 5%
10. US Navy test launch that they did not want to disclose to the public .... ding ding ding we have a winner... or at least the most likely choice with a close second that it was the Army officer that Barbara Boxer made call her "Senator" trying to cast his vote right into her house with some test missile.
I didn't make a lifetime career out of the navy but I was a submariner and I do know that the military has no problems claiming they didn't do something.
I have been on nukes and diesels and funny enough when running on battery diesels are more stealth than a loud nuke reactor running turbines...(US doesn't have diesels anymore)
