China’s Military Shedding Copycat Notoriety; Developing Better Indigenous Advanced Technologies China is moving from being infamous as a copycat and purloiner of military technologies from the West into a nation that seems to be reaching "near-parity with the West," especially in the aerospace realm. This according to "The Military Balance 2017," the latest edition of the much awaited annual assessment of global military capabilities and defense economics published by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London. Released only this week, The Military Balance 2017 reckons that Western military technological superiority "is increasingly challenged" by China. "We now judge that in some capability areas, particularly in the air domain, China appears to be reaching near-parity with the West," said the report. The report noted that for decades China was only capable of copying Soviet-era or Russian weapons or technologies. Today, however, China has shifted to the domestic research, development and manufacture of weapons and technologies, supported by sustained military spending. China's military budget is 1.8 times larger than those of South Korea and Japan combined and accounts for more than a third of Asia's total military spending in 2016. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank You For Watching..... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Site : https://worldofweapon.wordpress.com Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/worldofweapon16 Twitter : https://twitter.com/worldofweapon VK.com : https://vk.com/vk.worldofweapon Myspace : https://myspace.com/worldofweapon
