Y-20 with Y-8FQ equipment would be superior to P-8 Poseidon.

Thousand years? 🙂 Japanese have invaded China some 80+ years ago and who cares today?

So? It’s not like Japan succeeded. :rolleyes:

Of Course China has its allies India, Japan, Vietnam, Russia, Phillipines, EU. They have always admired Chinese, always have been admiring and will continue to admire the Chinese.

They better admire Chinese. :applause:

The new aerial terror of American subs, Y-8FQ 😎

Some consider the Hebrews to be an ethnic group as well.

Yes, just like Arabs.

America commissioned its first SSN , the Nautilus, in 1954. China commissioned its first SSN, the first Type 091, in 1974, 20 years later. The first Seawolf was commissioned in 1997. Assuming a linear catch up trend, China would have its Seawolf equivalent by 2017. This is consistent with the linearly extrapolated commissioning time of the first Type 095. The catch is, the first Type 091 was superior to Nautilus. This implies the first Type 095 is superior to the first Seawolf.

However, we know that the Type 095 is commissioned around 2014, and the Chinese learning curve is not linear. Thus, we can expect the first Type 095 would surpass Seawolf when it is commissioned around 2014.

Iraq is 10 times bigger than Taiwan, and China is 100 times closer to Taiwan than the US was to Iraq.

Actually, Iraq is well over 10 times the size of Taiwan, despite the incorrect counting of water size in Taiwan’s stat.

just NATO and a handful of East Asian powers.

Germany and Italy, the former Axis countries, won’t, just as this time they did not support America’s proposed attack on Syria. The UK likely won’t given China’s military might. France also likely not. If America attacks China, methinks it’ll have to go it alone without any NATO ally.
