520    This report examines many of the weaknesses in China's 
       People's Liberation Army (PLA) human capital and 
       organization realms, its combat capabilities across 
       various domains, and China's defense research and 
       industrial complex. Furthermore, the report analyzes how 
       these weaknesses affect the PLA's performance of missions 
       tasked by Beijing. China's military isn't ready to win 
       wars despite spending heavily to modernize.  The People's 
       Liberation Army suffers from 'potentially serious 
       weaknesses' that could limit its ability to conduct the 
       operations required to fight and win future conflicts.  
       "Although the PLA's capabilities have increased 
       dramatically, its remaining weaknesses increase the risk 
       of failure to successfully perform the missions the 
       Chinese Communist Party leaders may task it to perform," 
       the report says. It cited Taiwan contingencies, maritime 
       claim missions, protecting sea lines of communications and
       some non-war military operations.  The report looks at two
       critical shortcomings:  institutional and combat 
       capabilities. On institutional issues, the PLA faces 
       shortcomings regarding outdated command structures, 
       quality of personnel, professionalism and corruption. 
       Combat weaknesses include logistical, insufficient 
       strategic airlift capabilities, limited numbers of special
       -mission aircraft, and deficiencies in fleet air defense 
       and anti-submarine warfare.
