Don't write off Taiwan just yet. I fully expect Mainland to have some kind of democratic-meritocracy in about 50 years, and Taiwan could gain political victory by influencing the outcome.

Taiwan might have had a slight chance 25 years ago, but now it's in a slow-motion self-destructive mode. No one in mainland is looking up to Taiwan's political model and system. If anything, it serves as a negative example.

Yeah but it shows there are corruptions among them as well, just like any other arm forces of the world.

The 2015 China military power report for congress is out. On page 19 it mentions China's purchase of the SU-35 but fails to mention the J-16 that is about to enter production. tsk tsk tsk

China has been pursuing fifth-generation fighter capabilities since at least 2009 and is the only country in the world other than the United States to have two concurrent stealth fighter programs.

We saw from Dr. Song's paper that work was going on in 2003.

Still, when it actually happens it will mark a new era in Chinese military history.

I totally agree, this will be a turning point in PLAN history. this should be the real deal because I saw foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying's response to a question asked about this ''Djiouti base'' and the way how she didn't deny this news, makes this very credible.

they might play around with words and not call it a military base, (call it something really pedestrian like "maritime logistics support center'') but a spade is a spade.
