China certainly has the power to project it's military might. The fact that Japan plays a crucial role in the stability of the region and serves as a sort of checkmate for China's ambitions in the interim.

Way back in the late 1980's, a company decided to import brand-new buses from China. After a few years, the buses ceased to run while 2nd-hand buses from Japan that were a decade older were still running though they had become smoke belchers. If you are trying to start a taxi fleet, would you rather buy three Chinese-made Cherry cars or two Toyota Corollas? If you are starting an airline, would you rather buy brand-new Chinese passenger jets or would you buy 2nd-hand but well maintained Airbuses or Boeings? (Yes, I know that China does not yet produce passenger jets but this is just an example). Same case for military equipment. I'd rather buy 2nd-hand F-16's from the US rather than brand-new J-9's or J-10's.

Guess what, it was cheap and nice looking but Made In China. Should have known better but in my haste to save money ended up having to buy a Sony Pair.

We pay a premium for US equipment for a reason. The Chinese are still relatively new to the aircraft manufacturing game, and even have to procure engines from Russia. The Chinese-made bullpups are rather . . . interesting. However, I wouldn't want to strain our logistical chain with unfamiliar equipment. your right sir! SAFETY FIRST!
