Thanks for that BUMP. I almost want to post my response in post 37 as a separate thread. The similarities in technology, capability and even how the ships look is extremely revealing when comparing their "latest" to our Aegis class. This didn't happen overnight. We have been building the Burke destroyers for many years, since the early 1990's.

The Chinese have progressed from 1950-1960 class destroyers since that time to very modern destroyers now. They did it with the pilfering of, and out and out gift of technology under the Clinton administration. And this is just in the Naval area. They have done the same thing in many, many other areas, including their nuclear ballistic missile program.
