Does China have long range bombers at this time that can reach the
continental United States?

Although they have nuclear bombs, what about the planes to deliver
them?

I know China had some TU-16 planes years ago, but did they ever
develop long range bombers or get any from the former Soviet Union?

And what about China's in-air refueling capability?

The PRC have within the last two years put the BADGER back into
limited production. This variant was the B-6H. For this variant they
have ALCMs. The BADGER is essentially an intermediate strategic bomber
and as such is limited. The PRC BADGER tanker fleet is also small.
Neither do they have any BACKFIRE in their inventory. The rumours of
the PRC BACKFIREs is as bogus as them having the FOXHOUND in service.
The BACKFIRE has never been exported and the first likely export of
the type will be for India.
