  1. And discounting Frigates and Corvettes (which are too easy to sink) the Chinese Navy actually have fewer actual Warships than the US Navy, Most of their naval tech is a decade behind the US Navy except for the Submarine Fleet which is 2 decades behind. The US Navy also has twice the missile throw of the PLAN. The US can also cut off China's Oil supply at the Strait of Hormuz and the Malacca Straight and stop all of all of China's exports through the same Malacca Strait and in the South and East Pacific. That in itself would kill China as a Nation in 6-12 months.

  2. China's throw weight in missiles is still only half of the US Navy's and the manufactures of China's missiles have openly admitted that up to 80% of the missiles made so far are defective, meaning they only have about 10% of the effective missiles of the US Navy. That when added to the fact that the PLA Rocket Force apparently has the same problem with it's missiles, it makes the Invasion of Taiwan look a little problematical doesn't it? Also the bulk of the Chinese Naval Warships (Excluding Submarines) is made up of Frigates and Corvettes (no Cruisers, no Amphibious Assault Ships) which are frankly, very easy to sink. They only have 23 Destroyers and 2 functional Aircraft Carriers (which are based on 70s relics of the USSR). The US on the other hand has 74 Destroyers, 11 Aircraft Carriers, 16 Guided Missile Cruisers, 10 Amphibious Assault Ships (8 of which can carry 20 aircraft and 2 of which can carry 25). China is almost on par with the US on number of Submarines but is still about 2 decades behind on Submarine Technology, which makes the Chinese Submarine Fleet extremely vulnerable to the US.

  3. China's missiles are more TOFU DREGS. The manufactures of said missiles have admitted that as many as 80% OF THEM ARE WORTHLESS. That makes the entire Rocket Force almost totally useless. And what doe it say for all the missiles on the Chinese ships of the PLAN?

  4. China still only has a mere 23 destroyers in comparison to the USs 74 and only 2 functioning Carriers in comparison to the USs 11 plus 10 Amphibious Assault Ships capable of carrying Fighter Aircraft.
