 USCC - Testimony of Marble Page
Second, individual units and even regional and provincial military authorities face many pressing logistical needs, have very likely also used some of their profits to begin new commercialization ventures, and are not likely able to afford or even be allowed to use their earnings to import cutting-edge weapons from abroad.
Second, commercialization helped fund the actual process of moving these military resources back into the state sector; this occured not only by providing the dual-use training and jobs for demobilized soldiers as mentioned above but also by helping to fund the privatization of military ports, bases, warehouses, and transportation and communications infrastructure.
Second, this type of infrastructure is pervasive across the entire military, resulting in organizational units at all levels making active use of such resources.

It is understood that a primary focus of arms development, as well as procurement of weapons and know-how from Russia and other countries, has been missiles and other weapons that could take out a U.S. aircraft carrier and other ACSG components.
Senior officers from China's vastly expanded Second Artillery Corp (or missiles forces division), have recently told the CMC leadership that both the range and precision of their missiles had improved to the extent they could be "effectively used against U.S. aircraft carriers and other naval vessels."
Another priority is constructing and importing submarines, deemed the weapon of choice should Beijing decide to opt for the "softer version of liberation warfare," for example, imposing a naval blockade of Taiwan.
