America possesses more than 3 of these subs.
China has just begun trials of it's first full-size aircraft carrier. America possesses several large carriers, the least of which is several times more capable than the Chinese ship. At least one American carrier group is kept in close proximity to China at all times.
China's standing Army is the world's largest, yet it is geographically isolated, and is mainly a threat to other parts of Asia. An attack against China's Army would be based upon it's logistics and food supplies rather than against the soldiers themselves. A large Army consumes vast amounts of supplies, and will collapse quickly should those supplies be interrupted.
