The French are usually quite willing to pay the bribes and they are usually also quite willing to do tech transfer.
The last real War the PRC actually fought in was 70 years ago in Korea. Every other major power has fought more recent wars. I would say they don't have any combat experienced troops on par with well anyone.How is the Vietnamese navy as well, China has hardly been on great terms with them over the years. Recall some years back they got into a scuffle with them (mostly on land though) and they got soundly beaten. Granted that wasn't long after the Vietnam war and the Vietnamese forces had a fair amount of combat experience, but still.

Points at the Korean War. Quantity is overrated. The PRC sent a shitload of troops into Korea and still did not win the war. That is why we still have a ceasefire to this day.Quality? What about Quantity? Many fighting aged men WITHOUT wives or children or even possible wives around

They sent enough to push the US forces back...and then quality was to poor and gor pushed all the way back to the current DMZ..Then they just didn’t send enough

Hmmm, if only there was a way to increase those numbers further then
It's not like it was easy to support the numbers of Chinese forces they had already sent into the Korean Peninsula, especially during the Winter. The ones already sent were already on a fair bit of a shoestring of a logistical trail.

They fought the Japanese during WWII and that didn't translate into any real combat tactics that would make sense. So I would not hold my breath. And yes I know it was not officially the PRC but it was Mao's forces in that battle along with regular Chinese resistance forces.The Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979 was pretty real(killed up to around 100,000 people, depending on the estimates you believe), and made the PLA realize a lot of things were wrong with them. Whether the experience of that war is applicable today is a matter of debate.
And at least Taiwan chose thre proper ally to learn combat from...unlike PRCThey fought the Japanese during WWII and that didn't translate into any real combat tactics that would make sense.

It would be nice to see the US and Russia screw over the CCP together.
