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.

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.

Is US military larger than china's?

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.
