China Military Is Weaker And More Dangerous Than It Looks
The Diplomat reports that Chinais the only permanent member of the United Nations Security Council never to have conducted an operational patrol with a nuclear missile submarine. China is also the only member of the UN’s “Big Five” never to have built and operated an aircraft carrier.
Here is an analysis from the Diplomat by Ian Easton is a research fellow at the Project 2049 Institute.
Not truly capable military Hardware and pretend soldiers
China’s lack of decent hardware is somewhat surprising given all the hype surrounding Beijing’s massive military modernization program, the state of “software” (military training and readiness) is truly astounding. At one military exercise in the summer of 2012, a strategic PLA unit, stressed out by the hard work of handling warheads in an underground bunker complex, actually had to take time out of a 15-day wartime simulation for movie nights and karaoke parties. In fact, by day nine of the exercise, a “cultural performance troupe” (common PLA euphemism for song-and-dance girls) had to be brought into the otherwise sealed facility to entertain the homesick soldiers.
China’s marines (or “naval infantry” in PLA parlance) and other amphibious warfare units train by landing on big white sandy beaches that look nothing like the west coast of Taiwan (or for that matter anyplace else they could conceivably be sent in the East China Sea or South China Sea). It could also be why PLA Air Force pilots still typically get less than ten hours of flight time a month (well below regional standards), and only in 2012 began to have the ability to submit their own flight plans (previously, overbearing staff officers assigned pilots their flight plans and would not even allow them to taxi and take-off on the runways by themselves).
Intense and realistic training is dangerous business, and the American maxim that the more you bleed during training the less you bleed during combat doesn’t translate well in a Leninist military system. Just the opposite. China’s military is intentionally organized to bureaucratically enforce risk-averse behavior, because an army that spends too much time training is an army that is not engaging in enough political indoctrination.
Lack of Combat experience makes them dangerous. Real combat soldiers are not hawkish
It is precisely China’s military weakness that makes it so dangerous. Take the PLA’s lack of combat experience, for example. A few minor border scraps aside, the PLA hasn’t seen real combat since the Korean War. This appears to be a major factor leading it to act so brazenly in the East and South China Seas. Indeed, China’s navy now appears to be itching for a fight anywhere it can find one. Experienced combat veterans almost never act this way. Indeed, history shows that military commanders that have gone to war are significantly less hawkish than their inexperienced counterparts

Let me give reasoned rebuttal bullet point by Bullet point.
1 The Chinese navy has more submarines then America’s entire fleet of ships both surface and submerged! Aircraft carries are just huge cumbersome targets witness the Chinese submarine surfacing in the Pacific inside the Destroyer screen just 4,000 yards from the Kitty hawk Carrier then disappears without being detected by the US navies best!
2 Chinese soldiers may not be as well disciplined as the US but the US soldier has proved himself to be a pansy a shrinking violet when faced with real opposition, bring on the air power but when faced with real opposition air power which to date has not happened I suggest the result will not be pretty too may US soldiers are over weight filled with Coca Cola weed and SSRI’s.
3 America is the most aggressive Hawkish war criminal warmongers there are on the planet and are so good they are still not winning in Afghanistan after 13 years fighting poorly armed hill billy tribesmen!
@ caribbean critic: Excellent Comment
Right on the mark in every point made!
Blunt, honest, factually accurate, excellent observation of “actions over time” and critical analysis of the united Fascist states of Military Terror!
What I notice about the BIN News writers is their insistence in ignoring BRICS as a Military Alliance, first and foremost!
Their economic union and “soon to come” establishment of their own “clearance currency”, replacing the U.S. dollar, for good is of notice all over the world, except for BIN News writers.
BRICS is preparing, AS A WHOLE entity, to “Attack” your country, both economically AND militarily.
NOT JUST CHINA, but Russia (they have ALL the superior weapons and they have shared ALL with every one of their allies), Brazil, India, and South Africa!
They comprise 80% of the worlds population and have 80% of ALL the know natural resources on this planet!
They WILL destroy your evil, zionist and Fascist federal government (when done, it will no longer exist), break your evil country up “into about 5 different pieces” and then divide up the spoils of war (YOU) so you can be good little “wage slaves” for them!
Look at a map of the world and notice, YOU ARE SURROUNDED!
YOU RIPPED THEM OFF with your worthless Fiat currency and your CON-Game AAA securities scam (that in itself justifies a war) and they have let your country just “wear yourselves out”. Your military personal kills them selves at a rate of 1 per day! The morale is SO LOW you have naval personal that will NOT perform missions because THEY KNOW IT IS PURE suicide to go up against the ship-killers that all the BRICS have in their possession right now! THERE IS NO DEFENSE AGAINST THEM! That is why 5 of your “antique” aircraft carriers are in port RIGHT NOW! Hell, your boys and girls would rather “go to the Brigg” and live, rather than follow the orders of YOUR TRULY EVIL LEADERSHIP! And your air force is the exact same way. Why do you think the full push on developing remote control drones is on? Look what is in store for your “sitting duck” antique navy!

Attack Iran, and all 5 of these Countries WILL ATTACK YOUR disgusting united Fascists states of Military TERROR immediately!
Do NOT worry, though, because your cowardly country NEVER attacks any country that could inflect much damage upon it!
Fade away, now, United Fascist States of Military Terror, just fade away into the dust-bin of history!
AND, prepare to become, FOR REAL, a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY economically!!!!!
I’m worried about the military warranty. Usually only 30 days.
