I don't underestimate them, but I don't overestimate them in stupid panic monger spin-mode either. They aren't in our weight class at sea. They can outmatch Taiwan if we stay out of it. They couldn't take India, or Japan, in a sea and air confrontation, and against the USAF and USN they haven't got a prayer.

I agree.
