ASPI and others can't grasp Pacific Rim threats

Along with the topic of the previous post, we have this nonsense:

"It's an open question as to how advanced and sophisticated they actually are," said Andrew Davies, a senior strategy analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, referring to the Chinese fighters.

"But having said that, they make life more difficult for existing types, so the F-35 becomes more important."

I would rate Mr. Davie's comments as unsupportable.
