From what I can see from recent reports by CHINESE media, the new weapons being discussed are all either equal or surpasses anything western made.
I capitalized Chinese is because I no longer trust and use Western media for Chinese weapons, because I find it even looking pass the bias, they are just not as informed and don't follow Chinese weapons as closely as Chinese media and people. Which is to be expected, they do have their own country.
Anyways, looking at the navy, we have the Type 55 destroyer 12,000 tons, the new Type 81 or whatever the number is, transport dock to be at 40000+ tons, new carriers around Nimitz class. All to be inducted before 2020, and looking at trends, it may be way before for the first two, not sure on the carrier, it be around that date.
Already inducted is the Type 052D, and the Type 056, the type 54A, these are all new ships already launched and will be a force in the Seas. The type 71 transport is also very capable.
Type 94 already confirmed and Type 96 on the way. New missiles including the JL-3 is also well into development.
The navy is very exciting with all these new ships. The navy is clearly taking a bigger role in terms of military importance.
The air force is testing the J-31, J-20, J-10B, J-15, and a host of other planes.
The drones programs are also doing great with operational drones already at disposal of the army and police. Evident by the capture of the drug lord. True the drones were not used, but the fact they were an option says things about the program.
The y-20 is impressive and will massively extend the range of the PLA and will greatly increase combat strength.
The engine program is doing good, right now the only problem facing the engine is not the design, but quality control, but that's more of a trial and error type deal than anything else. So expect improvement as time goes on.
The missile program has the DF-21D, the DF-26 and a host of other missiles including anti satellite.
The space program is sending men missions ever year, with our own space station to be completed by 2020 and a moon mission in the works.
It is very exciting to be a Chinese military fan at this point because we are really pumping out weapons like it's going out of style and finally, long last we are catching up and making great weapons.
BTW, before any members start hating, some comparisons may be a bit biased, but you can't deny that so are western media regarding Chinese weapons. So what we can safely say is that if we were to meet in the middle these new weapon systems would still place Chinese weapons in the upper echelon of weapons available.
