Well, it doesn't really matter. I mean like if we are at war, it depends on what our generals do and attack.
China: 2nd largest economy, world's largest population and largest army. Has nuclear weapons, United States is its rival. Friends with other communist nations such as North Korea and China is still communist to this day. Going to war with China might start World War III.
United States: Number One economy, Has second largest army, Fought in WWI,WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War,Gulf War, Afghanistan,Iraq, Other Middle Wast countries and Britain for years but now allies like American Revolution and the War Of 1812. First country with nuclear weapons. Has 3/3 most powerful weapons on earth. One of them would be WMD ( weapons of mass destruction like chemical, biological and nuclear). Allies with almost every country on Earth. Current Superpower. Going to war with U.S would take years, with help with United Nations, NATO, alliance with Asian countries and most of Europe.
Russia: Big country. About larger than U.S and China! It has the #5 largest army. It has the highest stockpile of chemical weapons since the Soviet Union. Friends with communist countries like North Korea and the "Axis Of Evil". Pretty powerful. Going to war with Russia would take years to end.
Yes China is catching up faster than any country on earth. American weapons technology is more advanced and durable how ever in my opinion modern military tech relies heavily on computers. The communist states produce good designs and have probably the best computer scientist who can hack any computer on earth even the presidents. Their guns fire bullets accurate enough to kill and their tanks have cannons and treads like any other country. They also are now self-reliant on their own technology which means if war ever started, they would be able to build their own technology at a faster rate than any other country since their economy is rising 10% a year while USA is falling -1% a year. If war ever broke out then China would easily out produce any country in the world since they have the money any man power.
Soldier for soldier, it's doubtful that the PLA would outperform the US Army. As for the question, it's much more complicated.
China has the world's largest standing army, but it is geared for defence, rather than force projection. Thus, if China were to try invading the US mainland, it would most likely fail. But, were the US to try invading the Chinese mainland, it would also result in failure.
The US has the world's most powerful military. USA wins.
When? If you are referring to WW2, the US military was much weaker. The US had a smaller air force and fewer tanks. Then at the end of the war, Germany industry had been destroyed and its air force almost non-existant. So the answer will vary by what you use to measure the strength of an country.
The US's goals were to stop Communism from spreading to other countries and to control or stop the military threat of Soviet Union and Communist China. This meant that the US had to have a military power and arsenal that was equal to or better than that of those countries.
As of 2016, China has the biggest military force in the world with 2,333,000 active personnel. In 2nd place is the US followed by India in 3rd and North Korea in 4th. China has recently had a 12.2% increase in military spending over the past few years with a current defense budget of $126 billion.
No, neither* in area or population Improvement: That's not true. The reason that some sources (for example, Wikipedia) say that the United States is smaller than China is because it's counting disputed territories. Generally, both land and water area is being counted, but, if you add the disputed territories, then China gets bigger. If you were to take away the disputed territories, China gets smaller by approximately 300,000 km2 (actually 327,714 km2). That is still including water area.
yea it is stronger then us,russia,pakistan,oh yeah and china
The US military is much larger and stronger than Israel's. It is arguably the most powerful military on the planet.
Ensuring that the US military was larger than the Soviet military
In the 21st century, the US military is the most powerful in the world.
China has sheer numbers. You decide. [China because the US relies on China economically and for their military, since the US uses the money China give them to buy military weapons, and they buy weapons from them.]
China is not controlling the US. The US still has the largest economy in the world and a military equal or better than China's. This does not mean the number of troops but the quality of them and the military equipment. No country controls the US.
Ensuring that the U.S. military was larger than the Soviet military
Elite is stronger then delta i know because in the military school they told us
The strength of a country can be measured in various ways, such as military, economy, and influence. The US generally has a stronger military and economy compared to Russia. However, Russia holds significant influence in certain regions and has a strong military presence in key strategic areas.
North Korea has issues with the US. But the US does not hate Korea. The US has a strong and very old alliance with China that makes then stronger than Korea.
Type your answer here... Will China surpass The US In MIlitary Power
China is smaller than the US by about 257,000 km2
