The Chinese threat is the most credible threat we face. Now and in the future. There are others, but they are #1. Their avionics, aircraft and missile systems are on a par with ours and are getting better. Our advantage, for the moment, is training and personnel.
Make no mistake about that old saw about cheap Chinese made products. They are still out there. But not when it comes to their military electronics. After all, it is where all of OUR electronics come from now, maybe not recognizably, but the parts certainly do.
We have allowed this to happen. We now get to 'reap the wind'....

I agree with you and would further say that we have been at war with China for some time now it is just not a fighting war yet. Their ability to destroy a satellite with a missile was a warning shot that they have the capability to knock out our command and control systems. Their aircraft carrier sinking missile neutralizes our navy's threat. The Chinese have been sitting back watching us deplete our war machine on useless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while swooping in to secure valuable contracts on resources while our troops are dying. They are ready to defend any aggressive actions they may take in the future and they will take action as resources become scarce.
