This is similar to the other similar thread w/ USA but obviously this one's about China.
My build order goes a little like this:
- First one builds Powerplant
- Listening Outpost comes out and sent to scout
- Send first one to furthest supply
- Second Dozer comes out
- Second one builds barracks
- Second one builds supply
- First one builds WF
- 2 Gats, 1 Batmaster
- Second one builds Airfield then it goes somewhere from there
So, I'm hoping some pros will shine a light on a good build order to use

You can always start with a troop crawler though
(Maelstorm will get the joke).

Your second dozer _always_ builds a supply first, or else you lose time and income from idling; same goes for getting supply collectors as soon as possible.

That BO will get you killed against any fast faction player that's somewhat skilled. Here is what I do when I'm vs aggressive GLA or US (that's when the first minute matters the most)
- first dozer builds PP
- second dozer goes to secondary supply
- LP goes to scout
- first dozer builds supply on primary supply source
- second dozer builds supply on secondary supply source
- first one builds WF near primary supply (mind the coverage of mines incase you need them, make sure they cover the passage behind the building so stuff cant get close to harass your collectors)
- second one builds barracks on second supply (mind the coverage of mines, same as first case)
- 2 minigun teams at least to defend secondary supply
- vehicles to defend primary supply
- go T1 (propaganda center) when you feel like you wont die

You could also try building barracks first, China's basic infantry is excelent for early agression.

supplies before barracks unless youre against gla.
No exceptions.
Posted by: XoGamer 15 Apr 2017, 12:26
But you just said the exception is unless you're against GLA
Posted by: {Lads}RikerZZZ 15 Apr 2017, 12:34
Thats part of the rule so its not an exception

you can build 2 barracks to counter the hard early game from GLA.
Posted by: {Lads}RikerZZZ 12 May 2017, 9:52
... and then you will lose when they get 2 technicals and laugh at your lack of mobility and easily counterable units.
