When has China fought a major war? Please let me know when you do, then we can compare notes.

Well their last big war with Vietnam,if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, it would be foolish to discredit the PLA, but nor should they be overestimated.

Exactly!

I’m a US defense enthusiast reporting on US Naval modernization and progress.

It seems you can’t handle US Naval power and modernization.

If it were me, I would talk about future burkes 3 and spy6. Not pulling out 1980 old ships to make the numbers look scary. Just like Russia didn't pull out tens of thousands of cold War tanks to prove that the Russian army could sweep through Europe.
