Just keep rationalizing.... at some point, you will note a strong resemblance between yourself and the dumbfounded Londoners on a certain summer day in 1940.

Pointing to experience with existing technology seems more prudent than unfounded dread. A few years ago they bought 5 Russian top-end submarines--but last year they had to buy more because the ones they had purchased were no longer sea-worthy. The PLA has bought lots of toys from Russia, but they cannot keep them running because of systemic problems in training and maintenance. Those will take a lot longer to overcome.
