#6  Spray paint the cameras. Or even Yak butter. Better yet Yak manure.

#5  there are a lot of Chinese military vulnerabilities

I worry about their cyber related abilities, their capability in use of electro pulse to suppress enemy capabilities and similar areas.

On the other hand I don't see how the PRC could actually send 200,000 soldiers across the strait and get them landed and supplied in Taiwan.

#4  Time for the standees. I have a very low opinion of the Chinese military. They do have a loud mouth but I see them pathetically weak in many ways. India however is a tiger they should let alone. China will always try the back door. Bio weapons and such. Certainly China has built and mass produced many things but their quality control is an absolute joke. Every day this is quite evident.

#2  Careful on that lube in that cold. Has a tendency to lock moving mechanisms in really cold temps.

BTW, the Chinese chasing the Marines from Chosen didn't fare much better. Lots of frozen.
