Would be interesting to see a split based on pay & benefits vs equipment/supplies/ammo

    Even the equipment isn't apples to apples. China pays Chinese wages to troops sure, but they also pay Chinese wages to factory workers. So even the basic inputs like ammunition, uniforms, rations, and small arms aren't directly comparable to Russia, Korea, or the US.
