Probably is the largest in the world, but as was noted its mainly gunboats and hydrofoils. Their main destroyers are mainly obsolete types and whilst they are working on newer classes the Luda is still predominant. And a Luda is no match for a Burke or Tico. Same with FF's, the early Jangwei's are still the most numerious and again are old ships with old weapons. Whilst yes new ones are coming into service there's not too many of them.

As Moskit said they will become a 'threat' when the USN is after funding.

bull stuff. They already are a threat but only on a regional basis to their neighbors. They do, already, pose a threat to Taiwan. If you don't understand that, you are deluding yourselves.

so far as being mostly obsolete, true on an overall basis. However, they do have quite a few first rate, modern warships with growing capability. They have Sov class DDG's with, amusingly enough, moskit missile capability. They also have a substantial, modern diesel submarine fleet.

They are building the capability to deny the USN access to the region. They are not there yet, in another 5-10 years they will be.

That has nothing to do with the USN "needing" funding. Your sarcasm is close-minded, bs.
