" The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) recently came out with report that China is "near parity" with western nations in terms of indigenous defense technology. "

Helps when you reverse engineer everything.

…but still unlikely to be able to innovate the next gen defense.

Still lacks the QA/QC that Western-built equipment has, though.

For that matter, China can't even reverse-engineer Russian jet engines yet. American jets run at least 1000 hours (technically 6000 cycles from idle to full power) between overhauls, Russian engines last 350-500 hours, and Chinese copies of Russian engines last 35 hours. Plus the Chinese engines take far longer to spool up.
