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.

A regional threat in those parts is an international threat. Those two countries fighting over those damn islands are the number 2 and 3 economies in the world. They may bitch and moan about the land, but they're not going to go to the point of war.

Not a threat.
