#1 Bet the Opfor got some good stuff.

#2 The Opfor (like at the NTC) is rolling and training 6+ times a year. The 'red' teams get to do this about every second or third year. There's going to be a competency difference in execution regardless. Training and team building are an effectiveness multiplier. Period. The more you do, the better you get. Hasn't changed in thousands of years.

Their drills are bloodless battles, and their battles bloody drills. - Flavius Josephus, Jewish Historian, AD 37-101, on the Roman military

#4 This is actually quite a troubling development.

The Chinese do not like losing face, and yet they put their first rate units into a training exercise where they got their butt's kicked.

It seems they are suddenly serious about land combat, which is a new thing. Now why is that? Not the U.S. for sure we have been there all along, but perhaps Vietnam? Korea? Russia? India?

I am thinking Vietnam, based on their recent spat, but relations with Korea and India are kind of a mess right now too.
