I'm not impressed. I could take those out close to a dozen km away, no problem. You'd think they would have used their latest tanks for this photo-op. Looks like T-69 tanks. I'm not impressed.

And if we did the American people will not support the death toll required to win a war in China. We just don't have enough bullets, unless we use nukes.

However the industrial base for the current technology is very mature in the US. It has taken many years and many billions of dollars to grow the base the US currently has. As such, the US has long ago made the investment that China is just beginning to do. It will take China many years to provide all the infrastructure needed to produce world class weapons such as the F-22 etc. The current US defense budget just passed is around $626 billion. That is still far beyond what China spends. "with one big difference"? Not yet Tom. Money is important of that there is no doubt.

I also have no doubt that they are receiving training that they never had in the past. However I seriously doubt it comes close to US standards.
