As of now, the PLA has a certain amount of advantage over India as far as infrastructure in certain specific areas are concerned, he added. "Otherwise, we have been able to match," he said.In the last five to 10 years, a lot of focus has been on infrastructure development and I am sure in another couple of years, we will be able to match the capability of the PLA (People's Liberation Army of China)," General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Army Command, Lt General R P Kalita said in a media interaction at Fort William here.
