Both are a decade or so behind us and losing ground.
Chinas not losing ground. However, they're not innovators. They primarily engage in theft and then recreate weapons platforms and systems. So they perpetually lag. But in a few years they will have enough assets in place to be a real threat to Taiwan. Their standoff weapons will be robust enough to give our carrier groups fits. It's a dynamic we've never faced from them, and it will be interesting.

Until the Chinese can deploy a blue water navy.

Not a threat.

They are working on a carrier killer missile but who knows how legit that will be if it is ever deployed.

They remain a regional threat and nothing more.
