Xi Jinping Jintao of China is trying to challenge the US military in the West Bank Pacific Ocean, China is no longer the goal is to catch up with the Western countries, IISS the reality that became the innovator of military technology has been reported.


It is pointed out that China has superiority in the system which sucks up technology, after comparing the United States and China with the world's strongest military power. For modern military technology, it is indispensable to develop artificial intelligence and big data, communication technology which is never cracked, but there are many private enterprises researching and developing these technologies in China and under the direction of the Chinese government Technical development is being carried out. On the other hand, if the United States intends to realize similar technology development, it is forced to ask companies in Silicon Valley to cooperate. Under the government 's control, it is pointed out that America can not compete in the technology development competition with Chinese companies developing technology under a narrow choice.

The Military Balance is a Chinese fighterJ-20, It is pointed out that within 2 years at the latest, the US may lose the monopoly control by the stealth fighter that is not detected by the radar at the latest. The J-20 has a longer flight cruising distance than the American F-35, and there is a possibility that the US could pose a serious threat to warships deployed in the Pacific Ocean.
