原文：

In some respects, China is also ahead on integrated air defense systems (IADS) with a mix of Russian-built and homegrown systems.

The PRC has one of the world's largest forces of advanced long-range surface-to-air systems＇- including Russian-built S-400, S-300, and domestically-produced anti-air systems - making up＇ part of its robust and redundant integrated air defense system.

Despite the advances, the PLA ＇remains in a position of inferiority＇ to the U.S. in overall military strength, said Chad Sbragia, the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for China.

Beijing's military strategy was driven by the view that the U.S. has decided upon a long period of confrontation to counter the global spread of China's influence.
