Recently there was a scandal in the rocket ranks of the Chinese military that showed corruption with the rocket fuel being sold. The comment that struck me the most was that while xi was firing the corruption out of those ranks, was that the corruption culture was still there in the military. That Xi's firings wouldn't change that culture.

Then I remembered that some time back the Navy was plotting war games in the eastern Mediterranean, brought back a retired officer as the opponent, and he upset the game by taking everything he had and firing it all at once at an aircraft carrier, some got through and totally disabled it or sank it. Upset the game, and it seems promotions were endangered so they scrapped the game. But I paid attention, and it looks like so did everyone else.

One of the Chinese strategies in the Chinese sea is to fire so many missiles and rockets hopefully the defense is overwhelmed, some get through and sink or disable the ship. Found out recently Somalia(?) was moving to the overwhelming strategy.

They aren't ready even though they practice using cargo ships to land military equipment, but I'd be baffled on how to approach a strategy of overwhelming fire all at once. Can you make fake aircraft carriers to draw fire? I'm happy to let the Admirals approach that one.
