In the traditional military sense, China has always been a paper tiger since Communism. They release videos such as these for their own people because they are constantly on the break of starvation or another revolution within their country. That said, *they could really fuck shit up in the cyber realm. *
Interesting hypothesis.
I would be more inclined to consider them an 'untested tiger'
A certain degree of mastery over communism has enabled control of hunger to a degree that is not easily understood. The systems created in the past 80 years or so have enabled the production systems visible today.
When it comes to getting things done, it really is not such a huge mystery. The evidence of what they are capable of is not available this does not mean the equipment is fully defective or the people trained to operate it will fail in all conditions.
If any military conflict is to arise they have the tooling to be considered a peer combatant for the worlds leading armies.
Oh, for sure. If you invaded China, then you'd have one helluva fight. However, China is not capable of invading any other country other than say, Taiwan/Hong Kong (ie. It's close, people are restricted, and there is a common shared enemy). Now, if China ever invaded the US, then as the saying goes... There is a gun behind every blade of grass. We in the US, as stupid and slumber as we are, have a lot of fuckin' guns, we know the land, and we do ultimately care about the country. Or, what we think is the Country (ie. the Constitution). Much of it is lies, but, millions of people with guns believe it. That is not even mentioning are Military which is filled mostly with brothers and sisters of those same people.
All of that said, like I said, their main weapon is cyber. They could really fuck shit up in that realm. However, even if they did, they could never invade. I mean, they could... But, they'd fail horribly. This is not common from some gun ho Murica hillybilly, although I do share many tendencies. This is coming from logical and rational sense.
I guess I don't really understand your concerns of an 'invasion'
This is not how modern warfare is being orchestrated, you can look to the europe to identify the pattern invoked by the groups in play.
When it comes to the chinese, they have a significant body of people already in north america in many important positions. They have now police stations placed sporadically across north america as a simple example.
The only 'invasions' that occur, are where you can show up with enough power and equipment to offset the locals, this is not something anyone can do to a peer / populated country.
Currently they have hypersonic weapons and we have no recourse, so if we pull up on their shores with our boats we will learn about power projection to peer countries. Not something we have ever done.
