US defense chief: China moving too fast on new weapons

China is farther along in its development of a new stealth fighter jet than the US had predicted, and that plane and other Chinese military advances are worrisome, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Saturday.

The United States is also nervous about a new Chinese ballistic missile that could theoretically explode a US aircraft carrier nearly 2,000 miles out to sea. China has also apparently beaten US estimates to develop that weapon.
