How powerful is North Korea's Military compared to USA and China ?
North Korea’s arsenal of weapons may not compare to those of the US, China, or Russia, or even Japan, but they are still powerful and very dangerous, and no one should be dismissive of that fact.
“Hungry and barefoot armies are always dangerous.” wrote Lynn Montross in “War through the Ages” .

Welcome to The Atlantis Report.

North Korea's conventional forces are weak, but they have nuclear weapons and other Weapons of Mass Destruction(chemical and biological weapons) and still some excellent asymmetric warfare capabilities.
Longer version:
During the 1980s, North Korea had excellent conventional forces. Their equipment was top of the line, but it was their soldiers that were also excellent. North Koreans were conscripted and served for 7-10 years, during which they had much time to practice and train - almost as long as professional soldiers in the first world. Their officers were also excellent - most served as enlisted men for a while, and the best were chosen to get trained at their military academies. Their Special Forces were manned by the children of elites - like the Spartans; the North Korean rulers took it upon themselves to learn to fight to defend their power. For example, Kim Hyun-Hui, the North Korean agent that blew up a South Korean airliner in the middle east in 1987, was the daughter of a high-ranking diplomat.
North Korean soldiers also gained much experience fighting in Africa. A handful of their pilots flew Mig-21s in Vietnam against the Americans and against the Israelis for the Egyptians and Syrians during the 1970s.
Of course, when the best and brightest are competing to learn how to blow things up rather than doing business and creating wealth, and so much of society is focused on military matters, the economy suffers. During the 1990s, North Korea suffered a devastating famine when its economy completely collapsed. Since then, they have not been able to afford expensive conventional forces. In particular, they have also been chronically short of fuel oil (in the past, the Soviets and Chinese competitively supplied cheap fuel). This means they can not afford to train their mechanized forces and pilots.
South Korea, on the other hand, became a wealthy nation. From the 1990s, they began upgrading our forces tremendously. When it became clear that South Korea's conventional forces would soon outclass theirs, the North Korean leadership began focusing on nuclear weapons and missiles and other asymmetric capabilities. They knew South Korea could not afford to fight a war because they have too much to lose and structured their military around asymmetrical warfare to keep them out and also focus upon preventing uprisings within North Korea.
