A Chinese gun enthusiast in North America, holding a Type 97 assault rifle and a Type 92 pistol, spoke for two hours in front of the camera. His comments emphasized a significant concern: China’s soldier equipment is often the most overlooked and underfunded part of its military system.
Despite China's capability to produce advanced military technology, such as the intercontinental missile and the J-20 stealth fighter, its failure to create reliable personal weapons, durable combat boots, or effective bulletproof vests highlights issues within the military procurement system, not industrial capabilities.
