He said that if the quality of U.S. weapons is far higher than other countries, China’s number of weapons and many, but are lagging behind in quality.

experts admitted that only a true assessment of the number does not reflect national comparison of military equipment, but to assess the quality of the equipment is almost impossible. According to Legal Evening News
