I don't actually think that the PLA being parade trained is a point in their favor tbh. It's silly no matter who does it.
Timing and precision seem important skills, imo.
Do you look at the pop and lock choreography of the Arlington cemetery ritual or the parades of the life guards of small European monarchies and think "Yup, those are transferable skill to the battlefield"?
Yeah but those are like two dudes.
There's something to be said about being able to do something like that en masse - it shows a healthy training and organizational structure with discipline and morale, even if the sync-marching isn't necessarily an important skill.
