1. China can detonate a megaton-class thermonuclear weapon 100 miles above the surface. The EMP is equivalent to tasering every microchip in the F-22 with 50,000 volts.
2. China can use ballistic and cruise missiles to destroy the oil tanks on the seven US bases in the Pacific. Without fuel, an F-22 can't fly.
3. China can shoot down the KC-135 tankers that are necessary to refuel the short-legged F-22, which has a combat radius of only 435 nautical miles. Without air refueling, the F-22 cannot venture beyond 535 nautical miles including fuel drop-tanks.
4. China can use ballistic and cruise missile cluster bombs to destroy the runway. Without a runway, an F-22 can't take off or land.
5. China can destroy the repair and maintenance facilities for the F-22. Without the elaborate and meticulous repairs to the F-22's 600-pound stealth coating, the F-22 is not stealthy.
6. Using the Chinese KJ-2000 AWACS and KJ-200 AEW&C L-band anti-stealth radars, stealthy J-20s and J-31s can intercept F-22s.
7. Using Chinese ground-based anti-stealth radars (including circular polarization, VHF, or UHF), SAMs can be guided to shoot down F-22s.
8. China is working on the Anjian (ie. Dark Sword) supersonic stealth UCAV, which can maneuver at 12-15Gs. The Anjian should be able to outmaneuver and shoot down the F-22.
In conclusion, China has a myriad of methods to destroy the F-22.
