    These articles are just bait to attract more MIC dollars but it probably is true yet does not matter. The military in peacetime (such as it is) is basically just a big destructive shock-absorber to cushion some initial onslaught until everything retools for the long slow grind of whatever type of warfare actually works for that given situation (found by trial & error counted in deaths mostly). Currently they're fully optimized for being able to bomb defenseless civilians anywhere in the entire world given 24 hours notice, which is not really something that will work against the PLA.
