This article talks about the air dominance abilities of the USAF in modern history. The air forces around the world which could potentially threaten US interests are examined and hence the need for F-22s explained in detail. China and its airforce capabilities - current and future, examined.
I have put this article here bcos it has described in detail the role of USAF in capturing China which I am sure all my chinese friends would like to know.
