China, so far is very defensive in nature when compared to USN or USAF in Asia. It'll take a long time for PLAAF to be a true offensive force that can challenge USAF/USN.

PLAAF is huge in numbers and that alone is not enuff to have the #1 spot.

1. Japan
2. China
3.S Korea
4. India
5. Taiwan

I put China over ROK because China has much better all-around capabilities.

ROCAF is purely defensive in nature, with very little in the way of offensive capabilities. Not so for PLAAF.

Sure they do. KAB-1500 for one.

But they dont have a significant air-refuelling capability (not necessary to counter TW) and no AWACS. They dont have decent bombers and their best planes are flankers numbering couple hundreds.
