The alliance of late is a positive but China with Russia would be a concern.

I don't think it will take them 10 - 15, they develop and build 'things' fast.

It’s taken them more than ten years so far, and as I understand they only have one carrier that’s their own build, and another which is actually an Australian ship converted, that was supposed to be scrapped.
Happy to be corrected.

The other point to remember is that America has been at war almost since it’s inception. There is no more battle hardened (or weary depending on your perspective) major country than them.

You can guarantee whatever information we see in the public domain is a mere fraction of what they are working with, and no doubt they have their own versions of the Chinese weapons.

China does not have the experience. It has numbers and tech.

Time will tell which one matters most.
