Imagine Chinese mercenaries being brought into the fight to test out Chinese weapons systems against European weapons.
Read several articles saying they are already doing this with cooperation from the Taliban, no need to test them there when they can do it in their own facilities.
The ChiComs have the same problem the Russkies do: a great looking military on paper and in parades, but so much massive amounts of corruption that most of their crap probably won’t work in the field, just like their Russian counterparts.
Their only edge, like the Russians, is all the nukes they’ve been working on secretly in order to win a nuclear first strike. Everything else is as shitty as any system run by communists.
