As I have stated before...the words coming out of China right now are ment for the Chinese People. The U.S. KNOWS that China is not so stupid as to follow through with such threats. The U.S. also KNOWS that China could not even be capable of carrying out any threat where the U.S. has Military Defense concerns.
That's a widely accepted assessment and more than likely so - however, the difference is becoming marginal.
... I have to believe the United States is technologically superior in EVERY facet of Conventional war.
China hasn't been laying idle, the same can be said for her.
No one really knows what weapons have been developed...

I do not speak of U.S. Military Capabilities in some manner that would seem to be like a Sports Fan. I am only speaking about FACTS.

You know...I am just posting FACTS that anyone here can look up on the internet.
I am not like some here...posting my opinion or making statements such as how China would win any Battle in the Pacific against the U.S. when everything points to the contrary.
China is not a country that anyone here would want to live in believe me.

By no means is China laying idle....but, people forget that the US has been at it a lot longer, and I really believe that the technological advantage is still in the US. China is good at stealing technology. I give them an A in that category.
There is a 20-year gap between China and the U.S. military in equipment, weapons and systems, Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Liang Guanglie told the 10th Shangri-La Dialogue on June 5 in Singapore.
“I would call the gap big,” he said. Liang acknowledged that China’s military modernization has improved, but the “main battle equipment of our services … is mainly second-generation weapons.” China does not have a large arsenal of third-generation weapons, systems or platforms. “For example, the army is still being motorized, not mechanized,” he said.
And while China’s miliary hardware may still lag behind the U.S.’, its cyber capabilities, considered by most to be critical to waging 21st Century warfare may be on par with or ahead of the U.S.’
