I actually read a lot of books about military battles, most of it is fiction, but they are all based on the actual historic battles, and war strategies that have been applied throughout history. There is precedent for practically everything through history, and 2022 China is not doing anything new and creative. This is 100% posturing, and they are trying to “prove” to the world that they have complete discipline, and their uniformity can make up for the lack of battle/war experience, but at the end of the day, nothing in the entire world will make up for the lack of experience from their soldiers. They even know it, the Chinese specifically will not let pride steer them towards instability, say what you want about them, they keep it clean, and words cost nothing, they ain’t gonna do shyt
