173. Lets se China get 80 aircraft in the same cateogry as F-22
then we may need to expand the program.

Many other programs have been expanded in the past. F-16 comes to mind.

If it is the year 2014 and China has 86 top of the line Mig-xx and expanding the fleet at rate of 25 per year then maybe we need to consider buying another 50 or 100 F-22.

To not do so would be reckless. Right now there is nothing China is fielding that can't be erased by 150 F-22 backed up by 100+ F-35 and/or F16.
