Ego more than anything else. Even your pilots ain't above having more balls than brains.

Not sure what you mean here. There are several types of training. Those assigned to the old planes (J6-J7) gets alot less than those flying the J10 and J11. What is known about their doctrines is non-interference, ie, you will not find a fighter sweep in conjunction with a straffing run. And they both got to be out of the sky when the ground forces enter the picture to avoid red-on-red incidents.

Col Ken Allen, USAF suggests no more than 500 planes should suffice the PLAAF but there is politics involved. The fewer planes, the lesser political clout the PLAAF would enjoy.
