I still think is a correct comparison given the security situation of China which is closer to home and mostly concentrated. They could keep the numbers classified all they want but all will depend of the speed and quantity that China could make their own, if they will able to make cheaper and faster alternatives to grind the stockpiles of their potential adversaries in a long protracted war.
That is a double edge sword on its own if the supply chain is so sparse then is vulnerable to disruptions like a pandemic or shortage of materials, the Chinese military supply chain they have almost everything at home including military chips, which by the way CETC could supply without the need of going to fabs like SMIC or HHGrace . The other problems are prices and overcomplexity, there this tendency in Western military contractors in creating overprice complex systems that they market as superweapons, the problem is that they can just make a few at any given time and the price is so high that the militaries can only afford a few. The switchblade hype come to my mind, marketed as a superweapon by MSM has been overshadow by cheap Chinese drones with grenades attach to them.
My two cents.

Is a really weird situation because I think when interest rate are higher deposits rates are higher too so people would want to keep their money in the bank instead of other investments.
I think its a combination of people moving their money to safer larger capitalized banks, banks offering higher savings/cds rates. or just tossing money into brokerage accts like vanguard that defaults your cash into money market funds yielding 4%+.
First thing first, replace "Mongol" with Yuan, then you will be 100% right about China. However, we don't have problem of being the successor state of Yuan dynasty, nor are we offended by being reminded so. We regard Yuan as a legitimate Chinese dynasty. This is the fundamental difference between you and the Chinese. BTW, just in case you may argue for propaganda, it is NOT PRC who said Yuan is China, it was the Ming dynasty which replaced Yuan put Kublai in the imperial shrine for worship. You see, we Chinese don't see the state and people through a racial lens.
Although you have rightly pointed out that Yuan dynasty had a great impact on the Chinese history, you are wrong in saying "Mongol impact on China". Just so you know, there are more than twice Mongolians being in the Chinese family than Mongolians anywhere else. How much does China has impact on the Mongolian population do you think? It is nothing to be shamed of, or to hate about.
On the other hand, you Europeans are on the totally opposite side. You seem to know a lot of Chinese history, but you lack the very fundamental knowledge about China which is "we are not you". It is ignorant to project your feeling and way of thinking on the Chinese.

Those are not their "allies" as they like to claim. You can see that they are scared, that is why they are including vassal states as allies.
I don’t think Taiwan supplies ammo to Ukraine…
I think they meant the Koreans since they provided 155MM ammunition to the Ukrainians.
