The U.S. military acknowledges the strength of China's navy, sparking controversy among Japanese internet users

Even the U.S. military acknowledges the formidable strength of the Chinese Navy, yet some Japanese internet users still believe they are capable.

This Japanese netizen also believes that Japan and South Korea's warships are superior to China's—take destroyers, for example: Do you have any with a standard displacement of 10,000 tons? Any equipped with dual-band radar systems? Any featuring 112 vertical launch cells for 850 mm missiles? Any capable of launching long-range hypersonic missiles?

Japan and South Korea’s destroyers haven’t even adopted integrated mast technology—how can they compare to China’s Type 055 destroyer? This Japanese netizen should really take a good look at Figure 2! The U.S. Navy itself recognizes the Type 055 as a powerful destroyer. Where does this guy get the confidence claiming Japan and South Korea’s ships are stronger? Is it because the Maritime Self-Defense Force has two "cut-down" Arleigh Burke-class destroyers—the Maya-class destroyers?
