No, and I don't think the PLAN itself would claim that it has. I would say its capabilities still lag behind in many areas. I'd also say though that /k/ is way too harsh on them and that the PLAN has undergone a pretty dramatic expansion of its capabilities and operations, and that it would be a fool's errand to discount them in a war. I wouldn't call the PLAN a peer-adversary for the USN, but they're a lot nearer-pear than any other country.
