Hey, does anyone know of any good resources to learn about the Chinese military, especially its probable tactics to invade bordering nations and Taiwan, and its tank force?

Best Military Site I know Of

Heres a taste:







Type 69 Main Battle Tank
The Type 69 main battle tank is a Chinese copy of the Soviet T-55 tank and an improved version of the Type 59 main battle tank, with improvements in gunnery and automotive areas. It is a relatively inexpensive and easy to operate tank but it is of an outdated design by modern standards. The interior is cramped and can be difficult to operate in. The 36-ton Type 69 main battle tank has improved armor, a gun stabilizer, a fire control system including a laser range finder, infrared searchlights, and a 105mm smooth-bore gun. This series was first seen in public in 1982. This tank lays its own smoke screen by injecting diesel fuel into its exhaust pipes on the left side of the hull. It has a 12.7mm machine gun and a long barreled 100mm gun with an externally mounted laser range finder above it. A large infrared search light is located above and to the right of the gun.
The Type 69 II MBT Command Tank Type B which is fitted with additional radio sets for the command and control function at Regimental level.

Type 69 tanks are employed in countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. It has been used in combat by both sides during the 1980's Iran-Iraq war; by the Iraqi Army in the 1991 Gulf War and by the Sri Lankan Army.

All you need to know is that China will win ANY war of attrition.

Unless you use 15 nukes.

Invading China is pretty stupid too, since all 1 billion Chinese will undoubtedly defense China from an amphibious attack. Our airborne troops would be landing in spikes. Air strikes would be useless, as their air defenses are superior.
