I don't know much about chinese statistics but i am fairly sure about a few things. Some chinese weapons have been tested in combat in the India-Pakistan conflict and they were effective enough at least. Russia produces more weapons than NATO and China has much more production capacity than Russia.

China has some issues with its navy but they are improving.

Most important in my opinion, China in general benefits more at this point without a conflict while getting stronger meanwhile.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that a conflict would be beneficial. I also don't know, if the government has enough public backing to launch a war, anyway.

I'm just suggesting that they know their data is overly optimistic, so they're probably taking that into account.

The India-Pakistan conflicts didn't really try Chinese equipment against Western equipment, I think. Don't India and Pakistan both buy from Russia?

Hard to say, given how hush hush the Chinese government is when it comes to statistics... of all sorts.

Can't speak on behalf of the India-Pakistan wars. But yes, i know that both sides have been purchasing from Russia for some time; India much longer.

Pakistan had USA weapons mainly in the past, but that has changed to the favor of China. There were plenty of evidence that Pakistan used chinese weapons during this conflict. Here is an example from western press
