He may be absolutely right in his assessment, but with the stakes that are involved, we can't afford to dismiss the Chinese completely. Their threat may not be as much as they try to pretend it is, but it's not zero.
And by the way, speaking of quantity vs quality, if you ever watch the movie "Enemy At The Gates" (about the siege of Stalingrad and the sniper war that ensued, very worth the watch), in the opening scenes as Russian troops are being flooded into the city at a high cost is very awesome.
