in no point in history have the chinese or the mongolians that took them over had any success with tactics that favored exquisite, high tech systems. instead they relied mostly on mass infantry and huge conscript armies. it's in their cultural and psychology to think in terms of collective actions and hive mentality. they will fail if they think they can simply transition to a western style military and fight them better later than they can now with the massive population advantage they have. if they want to take taiwan, they have just a few years left before taiwan gets armed enough by the us or that us develops weapons that negate anything china has and more.
