How much does China's military power have over the United States?This is a question asked by an American netizen on the largest Q&A **quora in foreign countries. Lewis Hussey, a former U.S. Army soldier, quickly responded that China's navy and air force could only be at the same level as the U.S. military. The United States currently has more than 11 aircraft carriers. In addition, the United States is also part of NATO, which means that an attack on the United States is equivalent to an attack on countries such as Britain, France, Germany, etc., ......Basically an attack on most of the major countries of the world. In addition, there are financial advantages. The United States is by far the most well-funded military in the world, while China is far behind in this regard, only in second place. This is one of the main reasons why China avoids a military conflict with the United States, because it is simply impossible to win this war, and China knows this.
However, soon another netizen George Tsang retorted: "When was the last time the United States won a war?".Much to the displeasure of Lewis Hussey, who replied: "Remember, the United States once routed the entire Iraqi army in less than a week."
In a conventional war, it is almost impossible to defeat the United States. George Tsang responded: "Unlike the United States, China and most other countries are not belligerent countries. China will not disguise itself as a peacekeeper and deploy more than 200 military bases around the world and then find some ridiculous excuse to launch aggression. He also noted that comparing the Iraqi army to China is not just comparing apples to oranges, but to comparing an apple to an apple orchard.
Finally, George Tsang asked a question when he asked, "If you really want to know history, when did you go head-to-head with an opponent of the same weight class and finally win?"He mentioned the Korean War, which was only a middleweight showdown at best, and the Vietnam War, which could be a featherweight fight, and those are on the record. He then asked, "So how many weeks, maybe even centuries, do you think it will take for the United States to bomb and defeat Russia, a country with an area of about 6.6 million square feet?."
Or bomb and defeat China, a country with a land area of about 3.7 million square feet”
However, as Dr. Xiaoming Guo mentioned in his answer, "The United States has never won a war with China, not in the Korean War, not in the Vietnam War, nor in the 1962 Sino-Indian War, in which India was the best man of the United States." "It's just a historical record that has been left behind. China had endured a 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and a three-year civil war, making it impossible for the U.S. military to pose a threat to China.
After a century of humiliation, China had almost no industry and was one of the poorest countries in the world. However, China defeated Japan and Germany in World War II and also defeated an alliance of 18 countries in the Korean War. From a purchasing power parity perspective, China's economy is now larger than that of the United States. So, what is the military advantage of the United States?
The fact is that the United States has never won the war with New China. Judging from the trend of history, the United States will not have any advantage on the China issue in the future.
Tom Kratman, a former U.S. Army officer, replied:
What about in **?Unlike some arrogant and ridiculous opinions, no, the American ** team is invincible anywhere in the world. We have more advanced technology, better equipment. Our soldiers are better trained because we have the funds to train them. At sea, we are able to control not only the Chinese navy, but also the navies of other countries, and even everyone at the same time. Whenever and wherever logistical support from the sea is needed, we can use our naval and air superiority to limit the movement of any force, as long as they are deployed in front of us. "
Netizen Wuming Chan from Taiwan Province of China replied:
So how much did the United States have a military advantage over China in the 1950s?Can it be said that it is 100 to 1?And then what happened?In North Korea, the United States had at least 100 times more firepower than China, which at the time was nowhere near as industrially powerful as in sub-Saharan Africa.
However, the Chinese defeated the United States and the United ** team, forcing them to retreat south of the 38th parallel, as demanded by China.
And what about Vietnam?And if we compare the military budgets of the United States and Vietnam during the Vietnam War, what is the result?The U.S. military superiority over Vietnam and China is again in the first placeChina provides ground forces support to Vietnam. Is it 100 to 1?The United States has B-52 bombers, battleships, and ghost armaments***, but who threw themselves into the fight against the Vietnamese?Your memory is really bad. So, why worry about U.S. military superiority over China?"
Netizen P**el Fekula, a graduate of the College of William & Mary, replied
In fact, the U.S. military advantage over China is rapidly declining. Over the past two decades, the United States has not updated or upgraded its aging stockpiles of equipment. Although the equipment of the United States is somewhat decent, most of it is aging and worn, dating back to the 80s. "In other words, when the United States encountered difficulties in the war in the Middle East, China carried out an ingenious reorganization plan, which greatly improved the quality of China's leading equipment.
In terms of the quality and reliability of equipment, there may still be some qualitative differences between the United States and China. But well, the gap is clearly narrowing. To be honest, I'm not sure that the United States will be able to defeat China in this war.
However, the U.S. team has an advantage over the middle team in terms of training. After all, the United States has fought far more battles than China over the past 75 years. A lot of combat experience, which came in handy. But after 20 years of focusing on low-intensity conflicts, I doubt that the advantage in this area is still as strong as it was before the war on terror.
Then, the user gave his opinion:
I doubt that the experience accumulated by the army in the fight against militants in sandals, against the large ** will be of any use. "
