Compare to Americans Ohio class SSBN and Trident 2 D5 SLBM. China still has a long way to catch up.
By the way, India is catching up to China. China should speed up it's weapons modernization as well as development.
As long as it can touch the homeland of the enemy and the wives and children of would-be warrior aggressors the leadership of terrorist-aggressor nations need to think-twice about messing with China.
