(Kyodo) _ A military newspaper said Wednesday the Chinese Air Force had mastered midair refueling, making China the fifth country in the world to accomplish the risky procedure. ...
France, Russia, Britain and the United States can also refuel planes in midair.

Not to mention (as of 2001) Argentina (needed it to get the Exocet launchers within range of the Falklands), Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, Morocco, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Ukraine, Venezueela.

This "achievement" makes you realize hoe far behind the game the ChicomAF really is.

Based upon your comments you are saying Peru or Chile could beat china because they could arial refuel before china. Get real.
