Doesn't China suffer from similar problems that Russia suffers from where higher level officers siphon funds intended for equipment/training, so are these budget cuts going to affect the higher ups taking their cut or are they just going to cut equipment/training even further than they already do?

China is wasting money on a huge military, building new ships, aircraft, and trying to catch up with the west. Nobody is going to invade China.

yup, china is basically a 1-1 with russia except that they spend even more on worthless propagnda videos of soldiers flipping through burning hoops and weapons that don't even fucking work.

The PLA is really nothing more than a propaganda tool.

The big shiny wonderwaffe covers the cracks in the walls. Now there's more cracks ergo the quantum laser anti-caucasian weapons.

Why is it that North Korea seems the sanest out of the post-USSR dictatorships spawned from the Comintern?

>>64504039
No, the purpose of the PLA is and always has been to supress China's own population first and foremost. You'll notice that they only have token expeditionary capability, and even then only in the past couple of decades after Westerners made fun of them for it.

Because of their isolationism that, while giving them a terrible economy and multiple famines in the past, allowed them to succeed in acquiring near-total information control over their population allowing the Kims to set themselves up as the only true god-kings of the modern era.

China has been first and foremost at war with itself for 5000 years

China crawled on its belly out from under being an agrarian dictorship slaughtered by a belligerent Jpanese monarch to what it is now simply because the Americans liberated them and gave it favoured nation trading status under Bill Clinton in an experiement to see if you gave primitives money would they become civlised. The experiment ended in failure and a clown nation that hangs up pictures of Karl Marx and Mao and worships them desperately trying to larp as being like the US but only in terms of it's military. Now the experment is over and their gibs from civilisation is gone, back they go to rice farming and dicator-emperors like the useless primitives they are and always will be.

The implessive meme is turning out to be real…
There wont be a somewhat competent, hyper militaristic ultranationalist state in the sense of 1940 germany that can at least put up a decent fight against the west anymore, isn’t it ?

>>64503705
Imagine the upcharging and piece-of-pie'ing the US MIC does to the US for contracts.
Now multiply that issue by 100x because EVERY SINGLE level of officials and execs, down to the suppliers for the main contractor, all of them wanting a cut of the lucrative government gibs.

That's China.

this the PLA exists not to defend the Chinese population but to terrorise it for the CCP
