Is China the world superpower for this decade???/POLL

China has 2,250,000 active personnel and 800,000 in the reserve. Much larger compared to America. They're both on the same technology levels as well. They have a very good air force and navy too. The economy is stable, which allows the stability of their military regiments. America is doing pretty crappy in terms of economics, and the war on terrorism isn't helping them at all. Which one do you think is the world superpower. And let's try to reason with logic.Vilot_Hero

"They're both on the same technology levels as well."

Hardly. Last I saw the military was given huge amounts of funds for the past decade but the results were marginal improvement. In addition military power is becoming less important, economic power is where it is at although China's economy is still largely based on providing as a manufacturing base selling goods to the west. China is bound to become more powerful but their monolithic status as a super power is largely overstated.

The weapons China uses are just as good as Americas. The Chinese economy is doing better than Americas, and they have the firepower. Vilot_Hero

Take a look at this Duxup http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Liberation_Army#Weapons_and_equipment Scroll down to weapons and equipment.

All their weapons are on par with Americas. They even have a Chemical warefare program, and they are researching laser weapons(Particles). You can't say they are not on the same technology levels as America.

China hasn't reached the levels of superpower at this time. Numbers aren't quite the best way to determine that either. As for technology I don't believe China is quite up to speed yet. Their economy is largely dependent on exports and they have a large population that isn't all living in luxury.LJS9502_basic

America can totally stop 2,250,000 troops(Not including reserve), and all the armoured vehicles........America wouldn't be able to win without outside help. They use chemical warfare and are researching particle weapons......That sounds pretty high tech to me.

The USA still is. We have the most powerful military and largest economy on a country by country basis. No country can match the influence that the USA has.helium_flash

Proof that America is the most powerful military?? Last time I checked more guns win a war. And a military does have a relation to being a world superpower.

And they have the technology........Their economy might of went down a bit, but they still have a vast amount of resources to maintain their current military. Americas military is pretty shattered right now. I wonder how long it will take before America starts cutting back on their military funding.

China has been using chemical warfare for decades. They have had more military experience than the USA. And the technology is the same as Americas.

Just look at the number the number of troops for each side. China vastly outnumbers America.

Napoleon's army vastly outnumbered the Russian army. Look at how that went.

The Greek army at Marathon was vastly outnumbered by the Persians. Look at how that went.

See where I'm going with this?

You do realise that China has good military training(Canada has better though)??? What proof shows that America beats China in terms of technology?

yeah violet why havn't you been banned yet?

china's military is big, but remember: its not about manpower, its about the power of the man

and from observation i can see, the u.s. soldier is one powerful mother***r (not to say china has bad soldiers, but can you really expect them to field that many men and have each are as well trained and supplied as the u.s.)

but thats just for the military part

economically i can defenitely see them rise up (still some economically backward parts of the country, mostly in the mainland, but they are catching up) but only time will really tell.

btw canada will NEVER be a superpower, theres just nothing about it that really stands out, no geograpically, socially, economically, or politically, so unless maple syrup becomes as valuable as uranium one day, you can count on it being just "another" western country :P

[QUOTE="Vilot_Hero"][QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] .. More guns do not win a war.. Tactics, strategy, and much more are equated in.. Perhapes you should read up on pass wars.. sSubZerOo

America may have more Aircraft carriers, but that still doesn't prove that China doesn't have the technology to compete with America. The number of troops does not relate to technology.

Hold the phone.

I would give my vote to Canada. We have 100,000 troops of pure firepower, and JTF2. India doesn't have that great of special forces and they don't have technology as good as Canada. I'm 100% sure that Canada has better tanks, weapons and everything.Vilot_Hero

How can you vote for India???Their technology isn't on the same level as Canada. They don't even have a great special forces team...Where as Canada does.Vilot_Hero

I think people are ignoring the fact that Canada has far better weapons than India. Better technology will serve you greatly in a war.Vilot_Hero

Hmm.

You have no clue what your talking about.. China if it had 10 times of what it has now could not do squat.. With no navy you can not cross a ocean.. And yes technology is directly related to the air craft carrier, it is the most effecitve and dangerous weapon other than nuclear ordance we have on the battlefield.. China can not compete with the United States in open warefare if it were a conventional war that did not involve nukes.. sSubZerOo

Lol Lockedge i didnt even think of that! /facepalm

hey GabuEX now that your here can you plz end this? (banhammer preferred)
