What should China's military research focus on in the future?

What should be the focus of chinese military research?

play catching up with the west or develop entirely new strategy/technology in the battle field (e.g. rail gun, lasers, power armor and other weird stuff that i haven't think of)?

any idea guys?

Hypersonic intercontinental bombers, land-based high-intensity ASAT/ABM laser system, gravitational wave radar, quantum computers, ultra-wide area EMP munitions...just to name a few.

The future is fantastic, and the commies are confident.

I hope china spends all its funds on gravitational wave radar :roll:

Everything that is necessary to counter any threat coming from a potential adversary.

Mind control wave device.

Thanks for replying.

What is a gravitational wave radar?

I was thinking that China should research more on unmanned stealth fighter or drones. Air superiority will be critical in any offensive and defensive operation.

Combat UAV's for land, air, sea, and space that are cost effective, can be mass produced/deployed, plus their C&C infrastructure.

For non-military, energy related research should be a priority. This could mean more efficient nuclear power, bio-fuel (micro algae?), fusion power, renewable energy production, etc.

It'd be pointless to have a strong military if your petro-run economy grinds to a halt.

what about space tech? (colonizing moons or orbital military asset)

Any chance that weaponization in the future? or it has already happen even though it is not legal?

The Chinese should focus on making their submarine forces more stealthy, leathal. Development of a catapillar drive, improved acoustic reducing hull, and IR cloaking capablity. Maybe the commissioning of a sub with abilty to engage multipule targets at the same time like the US Arleigh Burke class Destroyer. This could give the Chinese the power of projection of the seas.

UCAV, UAV, Plasma stealth, Non-Fossil fuel engine for armour assests, efficient domestic gas turbine for frigates and destroyers, efficient and advance nucleur reactors for carriers, domestic diesel engine, further enhancment to digital camoflauge, ICBM improvements, laser heating destroyers for satellite damage and gel balistic body armour.
