China's strong points:

-China's military has hypersonic missiles that evade most defenses

-Chinese attack drones can paralyze communications networks

-China's naval ships outnumber America's, including 3 aircraft carriers

-China has 2 million serving members vs. 1.4 million US soldiers

-Cyberwar capabilities can disrupt US infrastructure

Considerations:

-China lacks combat experience

-A top-down command structure could make them less flexible to improvise on the field

-40% of training involves studying the Communist Party rather than training

-Untested modern warfare efforts of joint military branch execution

-General lack of readiness based on red vs. blue team exercises

-Shortage of high-quality talent based on standardized admission tests
