The Chinese also have 50 conventionally powered submarines including about a dozen of the very good type 39A class boat.
The Chinese Navy has worked to really expand their destroyer and frigate navy and they've handed off the Liaoning so the Chinese have started their transition from a coastal defense navy to one that can project power.
China is looking at completing a fleet of two nuclear powered aircraft carriers within the decade.
