Add in your point that the WORST thing about Chinese military equipment is that it's MADE IN CHINA and they don't really WANT armed conflict. China's first nuclear subs sat in ports for over a decade due to needing immediate & extensive repairs. Those ships are literally decades behind the US subs. I read an article that interviewed US military personell about this. The US subs trailed the Chinese all over the ocean and they never knew we were there. Meanwhile their subs were so noisey the US sub crews could literally hear the Chinese sailors conversations on their boats with onboard listening equipment.

How does the saying go? The #1 Airforce in the world is the US Airforce. #2?..... The US Navy. Our BOATS have better planes than anyone else and it's not even close.

Besides all of that, while China & Russia have more ships than the USA, the TONNAGE difference is INSANE. The US boats are massive & powerful, while Russia & China have a bunch of little tiny boats.

Battleships aren't effective anymore though: the tonnage difference has more to do with carriers than anything else.

(I agree with you, but that's a misleading stat. That's all)
