China should build the world's strongest military and move swiftly to topple the United States as the global "champion," a senior Chinese PLA officer says in a new book reflecting swelling nationalist ambitions.

The call for China to abandon modesty about its global goals and "sprint to become world number one" comes from a People's Liberation Army (PLA) Senior Colonel, Liu Mingfu, who warns that his nation's ascent will alarm Washington, risking war

The way China is going, it might be the number one in the next 50 years. It would be the next superpower, but will the US play second fiddle to China?

China might match the US in military, science and technology, but does that make it Number 1?

Even in space CHina is making rapid strides, so the next few decades are the ones to watch

China is already a Super Power, If you look at it there our Four Super Powers the EU and The US, and then you have the Russians and the Chinese. Each of these nations can field and deploy militaries rapidly, Right now the US has Naval and possilbe air Superiority, the E.U a close second, Followed by Russia. China doesnt have a Deep water navy thats good enough to challenge The US and the E.U. China doesnt have What it takes to challenge the E.U and the U.S....

They can have it. Then they can play world police and have their sons die in pointless wars. They can hand out foreign aid to everyone who's ungrateful for it. Then we can produce crappy, lead filled toys and sell them to China and buy up all their debt.

the way you make it sound, you would have thought China would be under the same influance as the US and how its run.

what are the chances China would have invaded Iraq over oil when they would have prob most likely cut deals with them

whats the chances the chineese would sacrafice their sons for Israel?

your right most parts
the rest of the time its gone on its own going trigger happy.

I laugh at the OP. Threaten with WHAT????

The CCP best keep their own house in order before thinking themselves king of the world. And the well fed army kept alive by billions of slave chinese workers better wake up to realities before they are overun by their own people.

Their missiles and nuke may not even be enough to murder their own ethnic chinese masses. The guys who made such arrogant claims oughta be shot. He or the military are no better than fecal decadent wasts upon the plight of the enslave chinese people.

china is a lot like pre ww1 germany, and usa is like pre ww1 britain, basically china is growing stronger, yet does not have the power projection of the usa.
and like the germans did they are building their power projection in the form of a blue water navy.

i wouldnt be worried though, they dont have the experience and technology, or sheer military boldness in leadership that the usa has.

look at the history of the roal navy, technology, leadership agrgression, these were drilled into the service and made it unstoppable, and an empire winning force.

the yanks know this, they have had their superior navy since the victories of ww2, the chinese? they dont even HAVE a navy yet , one worth mentioning anyway!

they will never have the warfighting skills and will never send their forces out to fight for fearin of losing them. if you look at history you will see this has happened before.

the ijn yamato, biggest battleship ever built never fought anotther bb for fear of losing.
the german high seas fleet afetr the battle of jutland, never again left port for fear of losing .

dont worry about the chinese, their hubris will be their downfall
