Newsweek: China on Its Way to Becoming Powerful Enough 'to Beat Any Military in the World,' U.S. Says
A new Pentagon report has detailed the rise of China's armed forces, criticizing what the U.S. military has viewed as an increasingly serious challenge to its own global interests.

Tomorrow only brings greater advancements and a better equipped and trained milirary. We must stop the hacking/sale of our National Secrets if we stand a chance 50,60,70 years from now.

Well, nothing new under the sun. It was the same song with USSR during the cold war. The Pentagon just need more $ and it will have it.

Couple points; 1) The US has oceans on two side and will maintain a heavy sea going force making it difficult to come here. 2) Considering India, they check the heavy force of China's land armies. 3) Considering all other pacific nations, they are hemmed in.
Having said this, this is why I believe in the Tarrifs as it starts putting pressure on them. We beat the USSR with our economic power, not military.
Chinese blogger documents the construction of 31 new mass re-education camps in Xinjiang since the ‘People’s War on Terror’ began in 2016.
China's Achilles heal is food and oil. If the US ever considered it necessary to invade China, they would have to initially destroy their Navy and set up a blockade around the main land and starve them into submission...
China understands this though and it is why they are investing so much to obtain land routs to eastern Asia(silk road)...
As it stands China is already at the precipice at being able to feed its enormous population...
