Overall a pretty good analysis done in good faith. The biggest mistake was to compare military expenditure with real GDP growth when it should only be compared with nominal growth.
It was a very valuable discussion on the topic raised. Although there may be a slight subjective bias in the understanding of the PLA's logistical support capabilities among those attending the meeting, I think the discussion is constructive.
I always find it interesting how these supposedly much vaunted NATO logistics give Ukraine less than 1/10th of the artillery ammo and way less tanks than Russia is putting into the field, and that is even when you consider that NATO is supposed to have way more GDP than Russia.
While what you're saying is true, I think it's due to their wait-and-see political attitude rather than their actual supply potential.
Dunno if anyone mentioned this,

China conducted a large build up of its military along the Ussuri River, the border between China's HeilongJiang province and Russian Federal District Khabarovsk Krai. No reason was given for the large build up of Chinese troops and military hardware other than conducting war games. The Kremlin requested a formal explanation for the Chinese military build-up China said it was "conducting security drills designed to strengthen China's readiness to defend its borders".
