Shouldn't things like technologies be part of it.

I said it often already: technological quality can copensate for numericla inferiorit yonly to a certain degree - and not further.
Also a technologicla platform still cannot be in severla places simultaneously.
It also does not have a cat's nine lives. If you only have limited numbers of platfoms, every saingle loss weighs the heavier, is more difficult to replace, and increases the risks for the so far surviving platforms.
BTW, i wold not tak eit for granted anynore that the Chinese militarey is technologically so inferior as many still seem ti imply. That was twenty years ago. Today they drive many technological innovations instead of just stealing and robbing them from others. In some high tech fields they dominate, I think. Due to the US pressure and sanctions and the Huawei row launched by the US, they have
multiplied their efforts to become independent from Western and US chip production.
