How would you rate chinese people liberation army?

Q: I found some questions ridiculous on yahoo answer regarding chinese army. Apparently they think the only strong point of Chinese army is they know kung fu -_- Here is what I understand about PLA and base on my info and facts you know for sure, how would you rate Chinese army?As of now china has the largest army in the world. Their equipments are not as good as ones issued to british army and US army, standard chinese arm is type 54 pistol and the more recent type 90 pistol. For ground force, china has estimate 7000 tanks, it's newest tank type 99 is consider one of the 12 strongest tank in the world, however due to expense in production of these tanks, type 90 is not largely in service. The majority of chinese tanks are type 98 main battle tanks and type 96. So I wouldn't say their ground force is as backward as people may think. China been developing advance defence system since 1980, I know for fact they they possess EMP weaponry since 2007, however at that time they were having problem with power supply (I have some internal info on this matter). China also possess the technology to defend against air strike, Satellite espionage, and naval attack. China possess very advance defencive technology. For air force, Chinese air force as of now is currently in third generation of fighter development, with J-10 being its most advanced fighter with super-sonic capability, I would not say China has strong air force, however, in situation of defence, it's capable of hold air space with help of anti-air defence.For naval force, almost all China's naval force is green water, which means short ranged with little to no capability of doing long range naval battle outside of Chinese water. Recently due to the pirate incident however, it is indicated that Chinese navy does indeed have some degree of blue water battle capabilities. China declared it intention of building carrier in 2009, with carrier in chinese navy, PLA is no longer a green water based navy, but long range. Also with the help of carrier, now the chinese water are now all within air strike range should need arise. Apart from conventional ships, China possess very advanced submarines, due to early Soviet help. Chinese submarines are one of the best in the world. So generally speaking, PLA navy is very defence oriented. however in some area its navy is very capable of taking out special targets in long range, but no ability to fight large scale naval warfare.Here's all my info on PLA. I think PLA is very defence oriented, but definably not backwater army with only number and no technology. With Chinese annually increase military spending, it is possible PLA's army issue equipments will soon exceed British army. And for each chinese army men, they are not badly trained as well. Chinese soldiers pulled some very incredible feats during the korean war with US, with no air-support of any kind, solely on the incredible discipline, they were able to defeat and push back US army to the point which the commander request pentagon consider using nuclear device to ensure victory. And do keep in mind, back then PLA has very little in term of arms and they had no air units at all. So no, I wouldn't say China produce bad soldiers, in fact, I think China produce incredible soldiers whom can take on british soldier one and one in fair combat.Here is my PLA rating:Soldier: 4/5 for soldier discipline 3/5 for equipments 7/10 in totalGround force: Mobile forces: 4/5, defence capability (Anti-air, anti Satellite, anti ground and naval defence) 5/5 9/10 in totalAir force: air superiority on chinese air 4/5, outside chinese air 3/5 (this includes any kind of missle strikes) total 7/10Naval: green water navy 4/5, blue water navy 2/5, total 6/10Anyone who wish to add on my infos (which could be wrong, do point out if you find faults). please do and please rate chinese army base on this. I would like to know how PLA fair in people's eyes. Thank you.There are rumors about decline in soldier eqality recently mostly due to recent terriorist attacks were effectively dealt with in western region. However I do believe the overall capability of Chinese soldiers aren't bad at all because they all undergoes very harsh training.For the other dude whose saying most chinese army is tied down to conflict within China, this is not true. For civilan incidents, China has very capable police force. If you are referring to terriorist activities, PLA has more than enough people to deal with threats. I know they whole Tibet thing China did move some troops, however, not even close to one military area, (China has eight military areas)For the paper tiger friend. You seem to be a anti-chinese person. We don't shoot our civilians. In fact in 2008, for the purpose of not hurting civilans in armed gun fight, new arms issued by Police is a new chinese made pistol with very little penetration power to ensure if misfire, civilans will not be in mortal danger. If you are talking about a riot, I believe Chinese army uses water and tear gas as oppose to actual bullets.And please, read before post. If you are saying PLA is a paper tiger, then point out which part of my info is wrong, thus prove PLA is not as strong as I suppose. Otherwise, your words just shows how prejudice you are toward chinese people and PLA.

A: Strangely, i enjoyed reading that to be honest. I think the majority of your analysis is spot on, and dont be dissapointed by the negative feedback by Americans, as they all seem to believe that Russians, Chinese and North Koreans are some form of sub-human which aren't comparable to a white American man.However, having worked in the Japanese self defense forces, i used to work in the intelligence sector, and i must tell you, what you read on the net, and see on tv is almost complete opposite of what the Chinese army is really like.The PLA tell the world that they currently spend around 2% of their budget, which is apporixmately 40 - 60 billion US dollars, but any well informed person, or former military personel will know this is most obviously an absolute lie.Joint US and Japanese predictions are that China spend between 90 - 95 billion US dollars annually on the military, and due to recent equipment renewals and 'modernising' the PLA, this wont be very far from the truth. They are definetly NOT a paper tiger, and will easily take on all countries surrounding them, and thats not even bringing up the option of using their nuclear weapons, in which they hold some of the most advanced delivery systems in the world, comparable of that to Russia, who they work with very closely.
