THE shock unveiling of a new Chinese stealth fighter aircraft has changed Asia's power balance and means Australia must dramatically rethink its regional strategy, according to an Australian analyst.
Peter Goon, a vehement critic of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Australia has committed to buying from the United States, says the Chinese J-20 is far superior to the American fighter and Australia must immediately adapt to the new status quo.
The Chinese tested the J-20 for the first time last week, on the day that US Secretary of Defence Robert Gates arrived in Beijing for talks. Although the Chinese claimed the timing was coincidental, Mr Gates expressed concerns about the military's motives.

U.S. 6th generation fighter will be equipped with directed energy weapons, which combat targets against China and Russian
In today's world only one fifth-generation fighter - F-22 "Raptor" has been in service later, do the U.S. need to develop the next generation of fighter aircraft? Why do not mass production of the U.S. F-22 fighter jets, which will air supremacy firmly in control in their own hands? The U.S. military did not give any answers on these questions.

Wrong again.
This is China's top of the line super-fighter that is yet to be in production. The F-35 strike fighter is 10-20 year old technology, already in mass production, and already being sold to our allies. We do not sell anything to our allies that is current tech. We always sell "last year's model" to our allies, and thus we keep the strategic advantage.
In a decade or so, the newest Chinese fighter will be significant enough to be a concern for Australia, but it is already far outgunned by US tech.

This is so implausable a scenario that it's outright laughable. Maybe a military science class and some logistics classes would serve you better than playing Call of Duty.
There is no army in the world capable of holding a landmass the size of the United States and no logistical way to move that many troops without detection.
The only way to win a massive major power war is through the use of WMD and that is no way to win a war. Better to not play- than to do that.

On top of all that, North Korea already had the largest standing army in the world, so a few more Chinese infantrymen really makes no difference, and our Carrier groups do not care how many men are on the ground, because they are 100 miles offshore lobbing million dollar weapons at their targets.

Oh, I forgot about the awesome array of underground tunnels running through the core of the earth and under our noses. No wonder my basement smells like Chinese food.
