You don't need to be. The whole "Progressive Agenda" is pretty formidable as a propaganda weapon. This will create internal strife (or at least, war of words) within the major challengers of the US, like China and Russia.

Ask them to show a battle where they fought a near-peer enemy and won.

PAP is basically light infantry by PLA standards. They would be way better trained than US National guard infantry. Since they are professional soldiers, whereas the NG gets a couple weekends of training. They don't operate heavy gear/air.

The reserve for air force and armor is pretty high, all demobilized veterans are on reserve for 5 years I believed.

Also I should add PLA and PAP (Units in Xinjiang) Are actually pretty experience when it comes to fighting terrorist because of the Xinjiang conflict with the ETIM.

Is this a Chinese unit? Which one is it? What are these guns?

I think they are military cadets in the academy. The guns are more likely just rubber guns used for practicing tactical positioning and team formation.

Are there any threads related to the PAP, Chinese SWAT, or chinese SOF? I've found a multitude of content on Bilibili and youtube where seemingly Chinese police and the like use equipment i'd be interested in learning more about (or are these all just airsoft LARPers?).

It's true. But of course the units doing parades are probably not the same as combat units.

Real combat is much different than stimulated combat. But again, I doubt infantry combat is relevant to a US China conflict. The experience US has is very important and a big advantage but it doesn't mean Chinese units can't fight well either.

I think China needs to focus on making training more realistic. The recent addition of the colored smoke helmets to signal kills is a step in the wrong direction. They don't seem to use systems like MILES.

Also people from top of the chain to the bottom need to be tested in leadership and improvisation. Rote training is only 25% of a skill set. The US does this training really well.

I think China realizes these issues but is probably more focused on training naval and air units. I'm not familiar with training in that realm but it's not like the US has had experience in these fields either other than bombing hadjis.
