That is based upon the assumption that the West will remain static, which is unlikely. I have said it elsewhere and I will repeat it here: That there is no such thing as 'military technology' but rather it is about the adoption and adaptation of technology to military uses. These adoptions and adaptations may occur ahead of civilian use perhaps due to special circumstances, such as war, but generally it is the civilian sector that will innovate. The US Dod DARPA organization does not produce anything but only provide funding and direction for projects and that relies upon the dynamicism of the civilian marketplace to make possible those projects. In this, as long as the US continues to fund these special projects, it is unlikely that China will achieve parity with US on the 'military technology' front.Thanks buddy... thats exactly what i am trying to say. China needs some time to improve its military technology "indigenously". Lets give china about 20-30 years and i can confidently say their technology will be par with western without even copying the way how they have really advanced. and like you have said about the GDP.. heck with that GDP even western companies would wana invest or even run away from their country to help china.
But to say that today china has mastered technology and are on par with west is no right.
