Got to agree with you there true they are working on a modern fleet and military in general but they have a long way to go yet.The other thing is we do not know what the intelligence analysts in our government know(and they know alot more than we do).It can be fun these topics but let us not forget back during the Cold War even our analysts where wrong many times and thought much of the Soviet technology and aspects of its military capability was much better than it turned out to be.And one can make something look fancy pants(I saw this because CIWS looks more like a mock up to me than a functioning unit) when they know that someone is looking.Our Navy on the other hand is a tangible force there is no doubt in anyone's minds what it can do.And by the time the "Peoples Liberation Army Navy is "modernized" ours will be as well and by that point the Chinese will be 20-30 years behind again.I am not saying that they are not a threat.
