Correct, but...

1. As seen with Russia being fresh out of plates, realistically they need more for any protracted conflict. They're 2.2 million active, 0.51 million reserve. They can probably mobilize up to 5-7 million with conscription.
2. Chinese body armor has significantly improved in quality since 2016 (compare Militech then to Militech now, for example, or Longfri then vs now) and they would be wise to replace older stocks. Also, for what it's worth, they have patented the same TiB2-SiC ceramic as the Adept Colossus and therefore are in a position to manufacture 7-8lb "Fat Colossus" plates rated to 6.8 XM1184 if they so choose. They're behind only in polyethylene and boron carbide versus American manufacturers. They have parity with Alumina and normal SiC.
