Default Pentagon report: China closer to matching modern militaries
That new Chinese stealth fighter sure looks a lot like an American F-22, doesn't it? Now that Pakistan [Pah-Kee-Stahn] has given them an up close and personal look at U.S. helicopter stealth technology look for a stealth Chinese chopper to make an appearance in 10 years or so.

Do you think China will use it's military power to promote freedom and democracy around the world like America has done???

Pentagon report: China closer to matching modern militaries

China made impressive gains last year in its military buildup that pushed the Communist Party-controlled People’s Liberation Army closer to matching modern militaries, according to the Pentagon’s annual report to Congress made public Wednesday.

“Militarily, China’s sustained modernization program is paying visible dividends,” the report says. “During 2010, China made strides toward fielding an operational anti-ship ballistic missile, continued work on its aircraft carrier program, and finalized the prototype of its first stealth aircraft.”

The report cautions that the Chinese military continues to lack key military capabilities, is equipped with large amounts of outdated hardware, and lacks operational experience. But the report concludes that the army “is steadily closing the technological gap with modern armed forces.”

By the end of this decade, China will be able to project military power and sustain a modest-sized force of naval and ground forces for smaller conflicts “far from China.” That assessment was not included in earlier annual reports to Congress.

China recently began sea trials of a refurbished Soviet-era aircraft carrier and is developing a ballistic missile to target ships at sea, the report says.

It also is continuing aggressive cyber-intelligence gathering and has targeted numerous computer systems around the world, the report says, noting the intrusions “appear to have originated within” China.
