This has been debated to death on DT. There are enough people who don't like me on this board that I don't want to actually go through with it again on this thread.
Alright, I'm just saying that China doesn't have the legs to dominate the air over Taiwan... contest it, certainly... complete aerial dominance is pretty clearly beyond them.
