Yes they are learning from the Russian according to Japan times
The Chinese military has integrated its land, sea and air conventional forces with new space, cyber, electromagnetic and cognitive domains to enhance its joint operations capabilities and will aim to equal or surpass the United States in 2050, a Japanese Defense Ministry think tank warned Friday.
The annual report on China’s security strategy by the National Institute for Defense Studies was released as the rivalry between Washington and Beijing has been intensifying, and attention is growing on the timeline for a possible Chinese invasion of self-ruled Taiwan.
In March, then U.S. Indo-Pacific Command chief Adm. Philip Davidson said that China could try to invade Taiwan “in the next six years.”
After decades of military reform, China has, to a certain degree, attained centralized command structures to defend its combat systems, and identify and strike potential adversaries’ vital weak points, the China Security Report 2022 said.
The People’s Liberation Army “went beyond merely imitating Western countries. It made the joint operations concept unique by basing it on the PLA’s tradition and novel by taking new technological developments into account,” the report said.
Beijing started to research joint operations capabilities after the Gulf War, triggered by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990.
The report said that China is learning from Russian forces.
“As the Chinese military has not had any real combat experience since the 1980s, China attaches great importance to Sino-Russian training. They have repeated such exercises several times,” Sugiura said.
China and Russia have been ramping up joint military exercises around Japan recently.
The two countries’ warships sailed around most of the Japanese archipelago last month, according to Japan’s Defense Ministry. More recently, Japanese fighter jets scrambled in response to two Chinese and two Russian bombers flying over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea last week, according to the ministry.
