In the past few decades, China's development speed has been amazing, and its economy has been ranked second in the world. Therefore, many people believe that our military level will soon be on par with that of the United States. Is this really the case?

Military expert Zhang Zhaozhong has sounded the alarm in many programs.He made it clear that we should not be fooled by those exaggerated reports. We are still at least 20 years behind the United States in military strength. Everyone should calm down and not be blindly optimistic.

To be honest, the US military is indeed strong. Russian media have acknowledged this, and they analyzed that the US is still one of the world's top military powers. In comparison, although China has advantages in terms of manpower and missiles, it still needs to work hard overall.

China has 2.05 million active military personnel, while the United States has only 1.43 million. What does this mean? Our numbers are miles ahead of theirs.Moreover, China's total population is 1.4 billion, while the United States has only 335 million. If a war breaks out, we can have a steady stream of new recruits, especially our reserve forces, which number tens of millions. This advantage is not something that anyone can match.

But when it comes to the total naval strength, the US Navy and Marine Corps together have 567,000 people, while we only have 300,000. This gap is not small.
