The London branch of the American International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) prepared an annual report on the ratio of the defense budgets of the countries of the world, which indicated that China was commissioning a significant number of modern military aircraft and ships.

IISS: China is actively modernizing and expanding the navy

Beijing is preparing for the 2020 year to begin operation in the advanced squadrons of the inconspicuous combat aircraft Chengdu J-20. If this happens, the United States may lose its monopoly on the use of stealth warplanes. Also this year, an air-to-air missile of extended range can be put into operation. This type of weapon will be equipped with a phased-array radar system, which means for China to join a small group of countries capable of integrating such systems into air-to-air missiles.

- the report says.

High ambitions China pursues the sea. Since 2000, more corvettes, frigates, destroyers, and submarines have been built in the PRC than in Japan, South Korea, and India combined.

The total tonnage of new warships and auxiliary ships launched in China over the past four years is much higher than that of the modern French Navy. The launch of the first cruiser project 055 speaks of overcoming another lag of the Chinese Navy - in the ocean sector

- noted in the report, RIA News

The report's authors note that the PRC has the ability to deploy a fleet far from the borders, and even in Europe.

    So the naglitsy therefore write that they are no longer “mistress of the seas”. And we are also a good reason to think ...

      But why should we “think twice”? The PRC makes it clear that it is preparing for a war at sea ... Those who want to "capture Siberia" are unlikely to throw the main forces into the development of the Navy.

You will not envy China - a very long sea border with year-round navigation. Moreover, the highest population density is settled along the coast. If you want, you don’t want, but you have to invest frantically in the Navy to protect yourself from such a partner as the United States. It is good that Russia has this problem on a much smaller scale.
