Using the biographies of more than 300 senior Chinese military officers from 2015-2021, the researcher, Joel Wuthnow, found that they were largely homogeneous in age, education, gender, and ethnicity and that there was limited cross-training between military branches, both of which could pose long-term problems.

In a war on chinese land the chinese leaders will just throw millions into the front lines as cannon fodder. Their navy will be sunk by missiles from other bordering countries. They are locked in.
