china does not just have masses of infantry men.
it has 258,000 men that approch american standard equipment. they are called Rapid Reaction Units.(not including special forces.)
www.sinodefence.com...
by 2010 china is going to deploy more than 720 fourth generation fighters.
a huge leap from 1990 where chinas most advanced fighter was the mig-21.
The PLA is in the middle of reform from a huge infantry organisation to a more even one. In 5-10 years you will see a brand new smaller PLA.
The russian army still maintains a very large armour force.they still 21,870 tanks. but the operational status of them is suspect.
also a large navy and a good airforce.
PS: i would like to mention that china has a very capable brown/green water navy.
and china licensed produced those planes.

cool... wonder what they will use it one... and china's navy is not that good, 3 US carrier battlegroups should be enough to take care of them... for now, maybe not in the future. and by the way, they steal tech when ever they can! thats is not a good military, make their own tech man...

20-30 Subs? China doesn't even have that many subs and if they did I doubt any of them would be effective in blue water where you would find our carriers and our attack subs.
Not to mention the 6 guided missile destroyers and 6 cruises that would be protecting 3 carrier battle groups, combined with about 210 USN fighters.
Listen if WWIII broke out were all screwed because you know someone is going to resort to nukes. And chinawhite China’s official figure of 65B a year on its military is BS its actual figure is higher than that.
There is a reason why threads like these are not allowed on ATS because we all know how they will end up.
china has 72 subs

This is bollocks. The largest tank force currently in the world is China with about 8000 tanks.
