So fanning the flames of war hoping that Russia and the West will exhaust themselves leaving china the only superpower.

It seems to be working for them. Why change a winning strategy?

Hey, don't sell us short! Trump is massively aiding them in our own destructions. He's doing almost as much of the heavy lifting as Putin is.

What the hell does China actually know about small unit infantry and combined arms engagements?

Not the military I would want to learn from, their tanks blow themselves up when they try to shoot and they have no established fighting culture with realworld experience.

Well, there was that one time they got their shit kicked in in Sudan. So like, they know something at least. Which, tbf, that was with blue helmets, so does it really even count?

They are learning passively from the Russian. The same way we are learning small drone warfare from Ukraine.

Yes but Ukraine actually knows what they are talking about.

Russia is too obsessed with using drones to fantasize that they make the strategy of investing in the lives of infantry and framing them as highly skilled positions an obsolete doctrine, which is a fatal delusion as it always has been and always will be.

Are combined arms tactics relevant when Russia has no meaningful armored equipment left?
