One interesting thing I found out about the Chinese military. There was a news report about how a ton of Chinese troops who responded to the earthquake doing humanitarian and rescue work suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. They have VERY few if any veterans left in the military and almost no combat experence at all, stretching back a few decades. Plus, they've been trying to change their officer and NCO systems because the Soviet based one was crap and it still suffers from a large gap.
They have jumped greatly in technology and upgrades, but they are still lacking behind us and have a number of weapons that have a higher rate of failure vs success. They are really trying to push the grown of their navy because they are still a defensive based military. They can't move themselves very far in large numbers for a big operation. Even an invasion of Taiwan would be a MASSIVE undertaking for the Chinese military.

We shouldn't sit on our hands, but at the moment China would have a numbers advantage, but that's about it.
