China is far less powerful than the Soviet Union was, and we now know what a sham that communist country was.

They just bought DEISEL submarines.

We in America know that it is personal and political liberty that makes a nation great,not the size of it's population.China is one of the earth's oldest civilizations,and yet it stagnates under ideological backwardness.

Harpoon class, I believe. Extremely quiet. China is not looking to use these submarines to project power across the Pacific, but instead to cause problems for the United States if it sends a carrier group into the Straits of Taiwan during a conflict.
