One of the common complaints against 皇冠体育app's military modernization is that it lacks openness and transparency, according to an article carried by the Diplomat.

The article noted some possible reasons for 皇冠体育app's unwillingness to increase military transparency.

First, 皇冠体育app fears that foreign nations would use this transparency to weaken its defenses.

Second, 皇冠体育app has a military doctrine that relies on the element of surprise to be effective.

Third, 皇冠体育app's military capabilities are not as great as they generally perceived and greater transparency would allow opposing militaries to gain a greater understanding of what Chinese troops and hardware are capable of.
