The US owes a large amount of money to China and it seems that we can't live our daily lives without borrowing money from them. The population of China allows the country an almost unlimited source of soldiers and resources. Moreover, Chinese are extremely patriotic. The American soldiers are mostly illegal immigrants who have join the army to obtain their legal documents. So...how about my question?
China has a population of 1.3 billion. The US 300 million. The US's troops are better trained, however China is trying to catch up.
A lot of China's military is kids wearing their own trainers and running around like headless chickens. All university students do "military training" for like 2 weeks at the beginning of their course. It's a joke.
However their military spending at this rate will be the same as the US's in 20 years time. They have an aircraft carrier and using it to train and learn how to build their own. They'll soon be producing top of the range military hardware, they'll have special forces getting up to scratch, and some military units that are more professional than most others.
At the moment they can't afford war. War might come in 20 years.
The nationalistic rhetoric is going through the roof. September 3rd is anti-Japanese Day for the 2nd year. People claim to hate the Japanese, however they actually love EVERYTHING Japanese.
At the moment Xi is still gaining power and if he manages to stay beyond 2022 then there might be problems. I'm not sure what he's up to right now.
