Lee said at an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington: "If there are lower-echelon guys being taken out as well, that probably has a greater impact. But day-to-day [People s Liberation Army] operational readiness on the conventional or nuclear side, I doubt it is affected." He said the PLA s administrative and operational functions are designed to be robust to absorb losses from losing even the entire party committee of a unit by having backup plans or processes to fill vacancies and compensate for losses.
