PLA knows that. That's why China MUST develop her own engines either way. Hopefully with mountains of R&D money and 3-5 years time, some real breakthroughs could be made - again, even it is so, I bet the news will be classified too, as Chinese engine technologies breakthrough means ONE thing only : imminent next gen !
Hello thx for your wonderfull images. It is better to inform in your forum, instead of creapies medias that are all lying.
Despite the fact that China is becoming a strong power, this country is far to compete with USA. This is true for China, as for Russia. China's aircrafts in the better case now can only now complicate a little, the US military tasks.
I don't mean it is true for always, now the USA is entering in the same phase as Japan's crisis 20 years ago. China is trying to modernize its arsenal, even though there is far from US Weapons.
It does not mean that Chinese people or russian people are not intelligent, and american people is more intelligent. On contrary, untill the XVI° century, China has the best technology in the world, but since that date Chinese's empire started a slow decline, untill Mao's regime. Meanwhile european world in that time started to rebound.
In fact USA is a declining country, has this country enough resources to rebound ? In my view the true responsibles are the jewish lobby that hacked the economy, culture, media, political, for this reason it will cause an irreversible decline, that will impact not only in US economy, but it will end US empire, then in weapons.
Maybe in a few decades China can produce military hadware that can compete with US's weapons, but not presently.
Regards.
