Yes, Chinese do have their kind of AWACS its called the Pak-China Y-8/9. Search it on Google images, you wont get much but there's at least on picture clearly showing it to you.
AWACS was not used by the British forces as the British Government had scrapped the only ships able to carry an AWACS aircraft. Argentina had no AWACS capability.
AWACS stands for Airborne Warning and Control System. It is not a particular type of aircraft, but the equipment it carries.

AWACS Airborne Warning And Control System
AWACS is a program set up by the United States Air Force. The program is called the "Airborne Warning and Control System". Boeing is a company that designed aircraft under this program.
The E-3 senty is a useless aircraft. It flys around for a few hours with a bunch of goats, and then lands, usually broken. While in the air, absolutly nothing is accomplished. The awacs should be taken out of service because it is old and useless compared to today's current technology. The only thing the awacs is good for is to waste taxpayer money.

My brother was an AWACs navigator and died at the age of 40 from thyroid cancer which became carcinomatosis throughout his entire body. he was treated for thyroid cancer but the disease had metastasized to his body. Therre should be an investigation if there are others out there who lost family members while serving their country.
The same as non-Instructor, non-AWACS navigators! Salary is based solely on rank, special pay (ie. flight pay, Basic Allowance for Houising (BAH), Basic Allowance for Subsistance (BAS), etc), and longevity. The military pay tables are publicly available at http:/www.dfas.mil/militarypay/militarypaytables.html.
