In reply to all your posts, don't underestimate China - they do have the funds to procure a significant number of fighters and fighter/bombers. Most of them from Russia. Not only are they gobbling up all the planes from Russia, but also the Russian surface combat ships. They do have first-rate technology that they have acquired from Western European nations as well as a brief intermingling with the Israelis on which I believe is the J-10 project that was mentioned before.
Where else do you think they're getting the funds to build up their military - the World Trade Organization - yep, all the Western companies, particularly America, that have set up big companies in China and where the Chinese are making billions from Western companies.
I always have felt that Communist China is a military threat not just to the U.S., but to European nations. Another issue is they are resolved in taking back Taiwan - even if it means using military force. So the People's Liberation Army Air Force is nothing to sneeze at - they are armed with Flankers, Super Flankers, Fulcrums, J-10s and not to mention - half the world's population they can throw at any army.
When that day comes, we're in a lot of trouble.
