What China need to do is to change those signs in 20 or 30 years. That is what every Chinese Citizen should work for. We shall do our job, and wait for the change.
You should post this post in the Chinese Defense Forum in Country Watch.
About your question, as a Chinese, I think the only thing that matters is whether PLA the the No. 1 or not.
The main threat of China comes from USA, so PLA should be able to defeat the US forces, other wise No. 2 or No. 3...
NO american company really understand the underline mechanism of Chinese economy.
Despite those banks and shadow banks etc, China is a socialist country ruled by a communist party.
So forget about those predictions, cos the theories they used only fit for western countries.
This topic is similar to the question "J-10 and Su-27 in dogfight", the answer may depends but also of no importance.
Both JF-17 and FC-20 will serve in PAF, so just wait for the test results.
No problem with WS-10. It's still kind of risky for J-15 to landing on the CV-16. So the mature AL-31 for 554 in its first landing is acceptable.
Operational WS-10H on CV-16 would not be far away given the fact that J-15B dual-seat fighter/trainer uses WS-10H in its maiden flight.
BTW, the...
I think it's a wrong title, since INS Vikramaditya is already the third CV of Indian navy.
The following are what I found on Wiki:
Active:
INS Viraat: Centaur class carrier (ex-HMS Hermes) in service since 1987.
Under construction:
INS Vikramaditya : Modified Kiev class carrier...
It's still AL-31
This J-15 No. 554 was with WS-10H before, there's plenty of pics of it.
But lately it's engines have been replaced by AL-31.
Still need time to see WS-10H operational on CV-16
Better copy than nothing. We need it and there's already a good one, then we will copy. We need it but no one have ever made it before, we will invent. When it's time of live or death, no one cares about whether your weapon is copied or not.
The han people and tibetans have been living...
You are talking about some common sense of nuclear war, everybody knows that.
China has also been preparing for nuclear strike since threatened by US with atomic bombs in Korean War. We have big public shelter instead of small ones for each family. There's a big one in my university. Many of...
One can not be too prepared for a nuclear war. China should have the trinity.
By the way, wipe out is one thing, wipe out clean is another thing. We need more to make sure this job can be done just as well as the United States.
It's a new world, we need change. The non-interference policy will also be abandoned by future Chinese government. The changing of Chinese diplomatic policy is clear in recent month.
You are absolutely right about the fact that if US is wiped out so will be China.
With the red B2, we can be more certain that "IF we died, you die too".
First of all, China will have offshore force in the near future.
However, the most important task for Strategic Bombers is NUCLEAR attack.
China needs red B-2 and even more advanced bombers to achieve the ability to wipe US out from earth, which is important for the re-balance of the world.
Now...
Like landing on the moon?
But ESA or NASA would be a better partner.
But I DO hope that all nations and all human could get together and explore the whole Solar System.
You are right.
But it is totally possiable to hide it when the CV are just much smaller parts.
BTW there is already one part of our second CV in Changxing, Shanghai.
You may report it to CIA, they may pay you for this information.:azn:
