German engine technology found in Chinese warships: Engines developed in Germany can evade export control bans due to their status as a so-called dual-use technology, a German media investigation has revealed

You think so but china manufacturing is one sided and has been showing signs of falling apart for years. Mainly subsiding off of fake construction and building shit for the sake of building shit.

Very like if a long term war with China happens their industry would collapse fairly quick.

Mainly because Russia isn't dumb enough to join china (because Russia knows NATO can and will curb stomp Russia military into the ground. While at the same time Russia is constantly dealing with internal problems and the constant fighting with their ex Soviet states) so china is alone. Fighting south korea, Japan, Vietnam (Vietnam really hates china more than anyone and oh boy will they win any war with China) the united states and the half dozen other countries who will help in some way.

And china's current military is quite piss poor. Their navy is mostly a hodge podge with no way of actually projecting power. While their whole coast is blockaded.

Their air power is just the same. Mostly old su27s that's been modernize.

Aka mostly gen 3 and gen 4 jets.

Fighting against other planes of the same class. And modern gen 4 and gen 5s both of which can hard counter china's main air fleet. This is all not counting the fact china's main industry and military bases are all on the coast. Meaning the bombers don't need to go on far not take long to start knocking out key industry.

Compare that to the USA or Australia...
