The PLA swears an oath to defend the Party, not the People.

One good thing to come out of the US fighting all over the globe, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Ethiopia, etc. etc. etc., perhaps the only good thing to come from it, is that the US military has a lot of very recent combat experience, something that the PLA lacks. The old saying is "every plan lasts right up to first contact with the enemy". In real combat it comes down to the training and initiative of junior officers, guys who can think on their feet and carry on the fight without higher ups' orders. I doubt the PLA encourages initiative and outside-the-box thinking in their officers. That will cost them dearly in real combat.

"they are more of a heavily armed secret police used to intimidate the people than a true military." That's the main purpose of the PLA: to defend the CCP against all enemies, especially against the Chinese people. A force doesn't have to be very good to go up against unarmed civilians.

Communism is like a large plantation where the few at the top live very nice lives and everyone else is in misery.

@TheGhostFart As far as I know Afghanistan has ever been fully conquered by anyone, ever. Even the Soviets with their exploding toys couldn't do it. Tough land makes tough people.
