Shukla is right. While his understanding is way off the mark, the information that he has shared is absolutely correct.

First one doesn’t merit any attention but the second point deserves a thread. So here’s a thread.

Remember those media reports that talked about the martial superiority of Chinese, both as a race and PLA as a warring unit. Every Chinese movie was about martial art and Indian dailies likened one PLA soldier to 5 Indian soldiers.

We couldn’t counter this untruth because as a nation we bear the collective shame of 1962 war and we didn’t have social media back then to counter the lies.

5 years back I didn’t know that there was a 1967 war too in which Indian soldiers thrashed the Chinese PLA and made them flee with their tail between their legs.

Now we have examples of Doklam where India protected Bhutan and didn’t yield an inch, then we have Galwan, where Indian soldiers slew Chinese PLA like gnats and bugs. Not to mention the numerous times PLA tried to trespass and was made to flee.

China is not a country, not a free country at least. It’s a country subjugated by a party - CCP. Soldiers that fight on its side aren’t driven by patriotism or land or people but money. China is possibly the only major country on the planet which has an army of mercenaries.

Is the Chinese army strong? Yes, very much. The sheer number of boots on the ground make them a force to reckon with. But is the Chinese PLA invincible? Not at all.

An ordinary PLA soldier is green - he has no war experience.
An ordinary PLA soldier is a pampered doofus - he has been brought up as a little emperor as he was the only child in the family
An ordinary PLA soldier has zero high altitude combat experience.

PLA soldiers also suffer from problems of excessive masturbation. I am not making this up. And China is suffering from the problem of effeminate men and Jinping is trying to make them manlier with his man up drive.

So summing it all up, PLA is a strong force with unmotivated, pampered, green wankers. They can bully Uyghurs and Tibetans, they can mow down their citizens in a Tianemmen square like protest but can they outperform the Indian army. No.
