How could they use rocket fuel to make hot pot when the rocket fuel was replaced by water?
Only morons believe it.
So, what Indians have to worry about PLA ? They are corrupt, rotten and fake to the bone, Indians better start to occupy Tibet quickly now, lol.Hot pot is a delicious communal meal that Chinese troops were able to make with the help of rampant corruption and readiness problems, a former officer told Radio Free Asia amid reports of new issues within the People's Liberation Army.
The ex-officer said he and other personnel used to use the fuel from missiles to cook meals, including hot pot. The reported example highlighted past problems with the Chinese military as the PLA and Chinese leadership grapple with new troubles potentially hindering China's efforts to transform its armed forces into a world-class military that can fight and win wars.
Yao Cheng, identified as a former lieutenant colonel and staff officer with the PLA who fled to the US in 2016, told the US government-funded Radio Free Asia that during his military service — which other interviews indicate was before more extensive military modernization efforts — there were multiple instances in which service members raided components of weapons to get by, speaking to problems within the PLA at that time.
Yao told Radio Free Asia that when he was in the military, he and others would "drain fuel from aircraft fuel tanks for cooking, which burns green and has no smell at all."
"When we would eat hot pot," he continued, "we would take out the solid fuel in the missiles piece by piece because there were insufficient supplies."
Yao said he "would often go along to the armory and ask them for a small round piece of solid fuel when we wanted to have hot pot." Hot pot is a traditional communal Chinese meal involving a tabletop pot that boils meats, seafood, vegetables, and other foods.

He made similar observations in a post on X, saying Chinese troops consumed whatever they worked with. Yao wrote that transportation personnel sold gas, aviation troops cooked with jet fuel, warship personnel sold diesel, and missile troops used rocket fuel. He said this sort of thing wasn't uncommon.
Yao's description of his experiences in the PLA came amid reports documenting continued issues of corruption in the force. US intelligence has described a few cases, including missiles filled with water instead of fuel and missile silos with dysfunctional lids, Bloomberg reported.
Though these reports highlight problems, it's unclear to what extent these issues impact China's overall capabilities and readiness.
China's military has seen several leadership shakeups in the past year, which raise questions about loyalty within the ranks and the control of China's leader, Xi Jinping, as well as his trust in the PLA. Perhaps the most shocking dismissal came in October 2023, when the defense minister, Gen. Li Shangfu, was removed from office after disappearing from public view for two months. At the time, US officials told The New York Times Li had been under investigation for corruption.
Li's departure came after the foreign minister Qin Gang's removal in July, which came with no explanation, and the dismissal of two top commanders of China's Rocket Force in the same month.
Expert observers have assessed that Xi is probably tightening his grip on both the Chinese Communist Party and the military. In a July 2023 meeting, he stressed that the party had "absolute leadership" over the armed forces.

US Intelligence Shows Flawed China Missiles Led Xi to Purge Army
US intelligence indicates that President Xi Jinping’s sweeping military purge came after it emerged that widespread corruption undermined his efforts to modernize the armed forces and raised questions about China’s ability to fight a war, according to people familiar with the assessments.
