Air Force - most of their present inventory is based on the latest Russian combat aircraft like the J-11 and J-16.
However, the Chinese have developed several aircraft of their own including the J-10 (similar to a high Block F-16) and the fifth-generation stealth J-20. With the JH-7 for multi-role, attack duties.
Navy - they have 2x65,000 ton aircraft carriers. And are building an 85,000 ton one. With up to 4x110,000 ton (that is Ford Class size) Type 004 aircraft carriers that could be finished by the early 2030's.
And they are also developing an F-35 type aircraft (J-31) for their Navy with similar capabilities.
Plus, they are building large numbers of thoroughly, modern cruisers and destroyers (including the HUGE, 13,000 ton Type 55 cruisers). 45 to be in service by 2022. All built this millennium alone.
Also, they have built 34xType 54A frigates in just the last 14 years.
Finally, they have built 8x25,000+ ton Amphibious transport ships - all in the last 14 years. And have 3 amphibious assault ships that are up to 40,000 tons. With 5 more on order.
However, if they continue to develop their hypersonic missiles.
And if they perform as promised?
They could render America's Carrier Strike Groups obsolete - if manufactured in sufficient numbers.

China is by NO MEANS militarily weak any longer. They have built and are continuing to build and develop large numbers of modern, weapons systems that are close to or equal with many NATO standard ones.
