I am sure China is making breakneck speed innovation in defense industry but these studies and accompanying research is often just a way to present China as an existential military threat to US to get more funding to military-industrial complex. It's just manufacturing consent for absurd amount of money that goes to institutions like DARPA let alone the total amount of money spent on all the defense projects like F-35 and whatever the new F-47 will be.

This title is just calling the report by NUDT a study. The NUDT is the National University of Defence Technology which is a nationally owned institution under the Central Military Commission.

So in short, this is from China itself not from US think tanks.

I mean if these studies continue justifying the US wasting billions on useless tech that's a win too.
