After 1-2 turns I see about 10 Chinese helicopters wandering around and many Chinese tanks and mechanised forcies coming.
How should I have spent my 2500

There are certain helicopter loadouts which include Stingers, if I remember correctly. That is one option.
Also, when playing by PBEM and air assets can be purchased (you can check in preferences to see if air assets can be bought and it may even tell you how many), its always good to buy an anti-air unit or two (or more depending on points). Perhaps a single Infantry-SAM team, or a single ADA vehicle, along with an ammo carrier.
Personally, when I play a PBEM that includes air, I make sure I purchase all the following types of assets:
1. Air defense (either infantry-SAMS from infantry menu or air defense vehicles from artillery menu).
2. Scouts
3. Armor
4. Infantry
5. Ammo carriers
6. Helos or air support
7. Artillery
8. Spotters
If you forget to buy any of those categories (number 8 is semi-optional) it can make the game pretty unbalanced, in my opinion.
But as others have noted, you don't have much hope given that your opponent has 3 times the points you do. Even if the Chinese were assaulting you, I think the ratio is 2.5 to 1, not 3 to 1. In a meeting engagement the ratio should be 1 to1.
