Just re-iterate your original point. The way I'm reading this debate between you two is Manqiang suggesting this program we're speculating on does not offer thorough training that represents something equal to what Chinese officers receive. You suggest the opposite? Not sure if this interpretation is accurate but honestly it's a small insignificant matter.

You do realize that article is written by Minnie Chan whose reliability is virtually non-existant right?
I was going to say. It sounds so ludricous as a prediction. The nuclear aircraft carrier will come. Its a natural progression. Sometimes I think she is a prop of the PLA spreading disinformation that Nationalinterest eagerly laps up.
Minni Chan and SCMP! There's no hope!
It would depend on country. If it is a non-ally, they would be getting the basics they paid for.
If it’s an allied country, it would be real tactics training, but it would likely give them not much info on how to actually fight *like* the PLA, just comprehensive training on how to fight *alongside* the PLA.
China used to train the Vietnamese army, which made them successful at fighting together with PLA logistics and intel support. But when Vietnam turned towards military adventurism, that training didn’t prove much useful against China itself in 1979.
I would assume it’s a similar deal here.
