It's easy to copy and paste numbers from Wikipedia, but that tells us nothing about actual combat effectiveness. Most of the PLAN experience lately consists of harassing Philippine fishermen. It's questionable whether their missiles even work.

Those were ICBMs.

The PLAN seems to be more effective and less corruption prone.

Probably why they tapped a PLAN admiral to replace the defense minister, who apparently came from the missile branch.
