Even into the 1990s china had little more than a conscript army of ill - educated peasants using equipment based largely on obsolete soviet designs of the 1950s and outdated cold - war ( or even guerrilla - war ) doctrine 即便是在1990年的时候,中国部队里的士兵还仅仅是被征入伍的农民,教育程度低下;用的武器大多数都还是苏联在19世纪50年代发明的,陈旧不堪;军事战略还是冷战时期(甚至游击战)的教条,早已过时。
