Why might the sinking of a Chinese nuke submarine still worry the US navy?

In late September, there was a wave of media articles saying that a recently launched new Chinese nuclear submarine sank near its shipyard. This video explores the implications of that news and talks about the whole new category of nuclear subs that China might be building. Which may lead to a potentially serious threat to the future US navy.
