This thread is intended to catalog and discuss Chinese military equipment failures.
The goal is to capture failures reported through accidents, exports, exercises, or battlefield observation to empirically study engineering limitations, procurement culture, and testing philosophy to expose the substandard equipment of the Chinese.
Ridicule is just an added bonus!
