A United States Congress study has said that China's military is not ready "to fight and win future wars" as it suffers from "serious weaknesses" in spite of huge advances.
According to CNN, the 184-page report sponsored by the U.S. Congress-mandated U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission and prepared by the Rand Corporation said that the People's Liberation Army has made rapid progress in a short time.
The report said that the military faces serious challenges as it is weak in organizational structure and there is corruption in its ranks and combat capabilities.
China's Ministry of Defense has not yet commented on the issue.
