haha, so you really want China have same mistake with USSR .^^.

No one can match with USA, so don't keep track on Arms racing with them .^^.

Everyone is catching U.S. Specially four >> Russia, China, India and Brazil (BRIC Nations). China is improving but But too far to be compared. It simply can't be.

If someone has 10,000 Dollar. Another might work hard to increase to 2,000 $ from 1,000 $ - One can say It's catching but Difference is always Huge.

Few people are talking of ICBM, Nuke, Navy ? These things are very very Old for U.S., Indeed they already developed Highly effective system to destroy these things before reaching to them like Patriot, Arrow-3, Anti Satellite Missile, Spy Satellite, and many many more. They have 3 Layer of Defence and not to forget 4th Layer which is 50% of world including Japan, Australia, U.K., France, Israel, etc. I am only talking of defending. Offence is Unstoppable (1,000 Attack on all 4 Side) . Don't compare Iraq, Afghanistan - They just want to Kill terrorist with less causalities. It was not War. I am ready to put all information so that one can compare. It will be easy to do.

I am repeating again. Comparison is Humiliation.

U.S. is way ahead than any country.

US is already developing 6th Generation aircraft - Sixth generation jet fighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, F-22 (5th generation already operational since long time). India/Russia/China still 10-15 year behind 5th Generation. U.S. is fast too with no problem of Money. So Yes, 20 Year ahead.

U.S. has almost everything needed. It has base in 50% of the world. 50% world are Pro U.S. and NATO too. 25% Neutral, 25% are anti but on paper.

U.S. is only country which can defeat any country without going into War. ( East - Japan/SK/Asean/Australia | West - Africa/Europe | Centre - Middle East/Isreal). South America too. U.S. entered Iraq, Afghanistan - All Supported ( Those who oppose don't have guts to oppose in real sense).

U.S. can defeat China without going into war against. ( SK, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Asean, Australia, etc.). Russia is powerful but not economically. U.S. also has advantage with geographical location.

Debt ? Relax, Dollar talks in printing machine. They Control Economy. Guess what will happen to Asia if U.S. companies like GS, JP Morgan, Citi, Standard charted and 100 others will Sell their positions in Asia ?


One should never compare U.S. with anyone. Even their defence Budget is 800-1,000 Billion Dollar == More than combined Rest of the world.

Comparison is Humiliation.

And don't forget that the U.S. is not even done doing R & D. Why do you think the Chinese are spying so hard to get any new technology the U.S. is developing that is generations ahead of others. Just like the stealth helo transport that nobody but few knew.

Besides the Chinese would need a vast number of ships to defend their new aircraft carrier. The U.S. Air Force and Navy have weapons that are being developed and produced that can hit targets from hundreds of miles away. Stealth weapons as well.

 

[Swatwolf]

There's no quantitative figure to measure the effectiveness of one's military, it's all about the pursued strategy. China's aim is area denial, anti access, asymmetric warfare like submarines, missiles and nukes, so don't expect them to sit pat when the United States is massing 4-5 aircraft carriers on their doorstep, and aircraft carriers and air superiority are American main projection of power, you take those advantages away, you win the war. I think what worries most nations around China today, is their expanding blue water and amphibious fleet and ever expanding military range, not their ability to defend themselves.

 

[CardSharp]

PLA 20 Years Behind U.S. Military only on basis of Military Part. If we compare Strong Diplomacy, NATO, Their bases in various countries. Then It's 50 Years.

U.S. Created many partners across the globe to face the possible enemy. Except China, NK, Iran, Taliban all are Pro-U.S. ( I am not talking of few posters. What country chief says reason whatever). Russia now neutral these days. NK can't beat SK and Iran can't beat Israel. China can't beat Japan + Vietnam + Taiwan + SK, even i am not adding India, Asean and Australia as not needed.

It look like Joke when I see someone comparing with U.S.


I am not pro/anti. Just Facts which is not to hard to know.

I think the statement clearly shows the PLA has no illusions where they stand but if we are talking a race. India is not even in it.

Why bring India in it? India is not wanting to be a arms super power we would rather like to be a economic super power

Reality check for those eager to gloat on the US's behalf.

 

[PlanetWarrior]

The USA is one of the world's largest arms exporters. For them, military weapons is a business. China's military capabilities are limited to defending her sovereignity, her local and foreign business interests etc. I recall reading once that around 2010 year, the USA sold 30% of total global military hardware. China I think accounted for just 3% of the sales. Taking into account all that, it would be ridiculous not to expect the USA to be way ahead of China on military capability and technology. To the USA that is part of their business. Investing in military research and techno. To China it does not form a significant portion of their economy to export military weapons and hence there is no incentive to invest in that field.

Yeah, they will need alot, and it will make China's inflation getting Worse when Oil price is increasing.

5 % inflation still the Modest, my God .^^.

China Inflation Rate
Vietnam Inflation Rate


Now shut up about inflation.

 

[Conqueror]

Nou there is some reality to what Chinese Minister said. USA is ahead of China in many ways.

 

[reroll]

HAHA!I think he would repeat the phrase, we have the help of Japan and Bank of Asia
What no self-respecting country~
sorry,my english not very well~

 

[S10]

It's funny how a buch of Vietnamese idiots claim how bad the Chinese economy is. It's like Mexico telling United States they're poor, or Zimbabwe giving advice to South Africa. To put it figuretively, a midget calling a giant short. Never go full retard.

As far as the military gap goes, 20 years sounds about right. China hopefully will achieve parity in naval power with United States in the Pacific theatre by 2040. Note that I said Pacific theatre, not the entire USN as a whole. That will take at least another two decades, if ever at all. We're very realistic about our future and realize we're not a match for Americans yet.

If only a certain country would measure their own strength first as well.......
