The current chinese army is more of a force dedicated to quelling internal decent and the eventual showdown with Russia/India filled with political transplants that make US muh tranny/wymn soldiers look good. The only thing keeping them relatively in line is the threat of execution. In addition, a motorized/mechanized force is not going to do well in the jungle. We all know what happened last time the US came to vietnam.
