Logistique : " « Les régions militaires n'ont pas de vrais systèmes de communication qui les connectent, confie un spécialiste. Tout passe par Pékin et l'on imagine les problèmes de coordination que cela peut poser. » L'encadrement très politique de l'armée reste également un frein à la souplesse et à l'initiative tactique requises par le combat moderne.
