Militarily, the United States is currently stronger than China

China calls in your $1.16 trillion dollars worth of debt. Unable to pay it off, you fall into deperssion similar to Germany post-WWI. We skyrocket past you in development, while you try to stablize your economy, and government. LOL I WIN XDOkay Serious stuff now:Numbers:Actually the number according ot wikipedia(yes its credible, stop bashing on wiki haterz) is more like 4,585,000 deployed forces. Also during war time, conscription comes into play. America can conscrpit up to 72 million men. China can conscript around 380 million people. Okay, no debating Chinese has more people, lol. Assult Rifles:While the QBZ-95 is often seen as the much less superior weapon, I will attempt to show facts that put it in better lights.While it is true that the fire rate of the QBZ-95 is 650 rounds per minute. The average fire rate of the M16A1 is around 650-750 rounds per minutes. The M16A2 which is less used does fire around 700-900 rounds, but that is an less issued upgarded version. The Chinese then can present to you the QBZ-97A, which has an added 3-round burst feature and bolt open-hold device.(Why do I sound like a salesman?)Also worse weapons are generally cheaper, thus more easily produced. You have to realize, while yes we do sacrifice some quality of a weapon, we can use that saved money to make more, to arm our larger forces, and in the end the QBZ is still considered a modern assult rifle, and can still compete with the M16 series.Tanks:The standard 3rd gen US main battle tank is the well known M1 Abrams. The Chinese main battle tank is the Type 99. Just how do these two tanks compare?The Type 99 runs at 50miles/hr, while the Abrams run at 42 miles/hr. This makes the Abrams much more reliant on support, while the Type 99 can operate with other forces, and be more independant in larger tank battles, retreats, and chases. The Type 99 can fire at 280 miles, while the range of the Abrams is 265 miles. The main gun of the Abrams is 1X105mm, while the Type 99 is a 1X125mm gun.The Type 99 is also fitted with an autoloader. This reduces the crew amount to 3 members instead of 4, plus it loads at a higher speed.While the Abrams does boast a series of anti-air launchers, fire extingushers, smoke grenades, this does make the Abrams costly, while the Chinese have a cheaper counter, lasers. These lasers can mess with enemy equipment, as well as dealing the obvious damage to one's eyes. Blinding the machine gunner makes the Abrams much more vulnerable to infantry attack. Also the ability to disable enemy equipment, would put their much invested weapons to waste.Artillery Pieces:The US primarily uses the M109 Howiter, while the Chinese have now made the PLZ-45 their standard self-propelled artillery piece. The chinese artillery piece once again uses one less crew member, which is such a big deal because that means one more troop for the 380,000,000 availabe to China. Sarcasm aside. The Plz-45 fires a sustained 2 round per minute, while the M109 fires at 3 round per minute. Although 1 round more, one can argue its adds up.But lets look at the range, which is the most important thing when one is looking at artillery pieces. The Max range of the M109 is 19 miles, decent right? However the Plz-45 boasts a range of 31 miles.They both use 155m main guns. Secondary armnaments on both includes machine guns, both being able to weild anti-air, and grenade launchers, so in that aspect they are equal.Navy:Its true that the US outnumbers the Chinese navy. But China will soon suprass the US in numbers of submarines. Chinese now also have anti-air carrier missles. It is more than capable of defending itself from US invasion.Cyber warfare:China is considered the greatest threat in the case of Cyberwarfare. China has at the very least the capability to get information, hack America's computers, and generally defend themself through counter-cyber warfare. Information is often key to success in a battle. With China having an all-knowing eye in the US, how can the US compete?Budget:I go back to my claim that China can call in the debt, shut America into depression, and thus the spending on the US army would lower dramatically won't it? MUHAHAHAHA, cough cough. But in all seriousness, the debt to China can very well be used against the US. If the US refuses to pay back, they won't be able to borrow a single penny on the international market ever again.Sources:standard Wikipedia pageshttp://world.guns.ru...http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.militaryfactory.com...;
