Based on what assessment? An assessment of how to fight the last war?

We are looking at a totally different scenario in which asynchronous covert battles are being fought.

But in all things logistics is the main issue because it is the basis of any transaction, especially when it comes to livery of bullets, grenades, mortars, bombs, missiles and other more exotic stuff, including the rod of god, information, finance, all of it.

There may be limited hot war engagements, but I doubt that. The covert war is much more brutal.

First thing you do is destroy the information capabilities. Then the physical logisict capabilities, and then you mop up. In that scenario, China is ..... totally screwed.
