China has been buying Russian fighter planes, submarines, and warships. The Chinese military has about 2000 tanks and possess nuclear weapons. Type 094 nuclear submarine was launched in 2004 equipped with JL-2 nuclear missile (range 8000 km) capable of striking the east coast of the US. Currently, China is planning to build a aircraft carrier and is developing the J-XX stealth fighter which is comparable to the F-22 and said to be superior to the F-35. If Taiwan leaders declare independence from China, the the PLA military would use military force against a democratic Taiwan. Then the US would go to war to defend Taiwan against a larger Chinese army with over 2,000 tanks. well, the US military could use its navy to block Chinese warships from entering Taiwan, but it will be too late. In addtion to warships, China has Russian designed missiles capable to striking Us warships. These missiles can reachmach 2.5 speed and hit Us aegis warships and carrier groups.
