Franz-Stefan Gady, The Diplomat: Is the Chinese Military Weaker Than We Think?
A new report highlights the unpreparedness of the Chinese military for modern conflict.
Today, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) published an assessment on the weaknesses of the China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA). While the report, compiled by the RAND National Security Research Division (NSRD), points out that “the PLA’s capabilities have improved dramatically,” it also notes “potentially serious weaknesses” that could “limit [the PLA's] ability to successfully conduct the information-centric, integrated joint operations Chinese military strategists see as required to fight and win future wars.”
WNU Editor: A brutal assessment on the Chinese military. But I will not underestimate their resolve in solving these problems in the foreseeable future. The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission's report on the Chinese military is here.
I don't know if they
ReplyDeletecould still push men
this far, but the old
Red Chinese method of
war was, "You can't
reload fast enough to
kill all of us." No
skill involved.

I would agree that in air to air or sea engagements the united states would decimate chinese forces. , but to send marines into a chinese theatre of combat against their infantry l think the u.s would find it hotter than hell.
