Chinese military is catching up - fast

Article Abstract:

China's military build-up at an estimated cost of $90 billion in 2005 and consisting of new warships, submarines, fighter aircraft, missiles and ground vehicles, could pose a strong challenge to the US action in East Asia and the Western Pacific. China is also expanding its command and control and intelligence-surveillance-reconnaissance as well as its space capabilities but it remains unclear how it intends to use its growing military power.
