will china beat US in economy and Military?

Answer 1

China's leaders read history I suspect. The reason the US beat Japan in WWII and why China was laid open to Japan in WW II is the same. The Japanese had a huge technological and manufacturing edge on China. So despite Chinese troops heavily outnumbering Japanese troops the Japanese rolled over the devided Chinese.

The US beat the Japanese primarily on our manufacturing edge. Wasn't until late in the war that we gained a technological edge, mostly because Japanese industry was too bombed out to bring new inovations into the battlefield.

Now we fast forward to today.

US - Industry is almost non-existant.
China - Makes half the world's products including military gear for many Western nations. China makes crucial chips for US military vehicles and weaponary.

US - Until recently the technology leader of the world. US companies have shut down or outsourced technological research.
China - This is where some US and other Western companies have outsourced thier R&D departments. China would be able to quickly and easily occupy the two nations the US also relies on for technological parts and research (Japan and Taiwan). So should a war break out the US would suddenly be unable to inovate. The facilities would just not be there any more. The US would not be able to repair weapons and gear. The factories just do not exist in this hemisphere any more. Few technological companies actually manufacture anything in the US. They might assemble them. A good example was when a Taiwanese resin factory burned down in the early 90s. Buying memory chips was like playing the lottery. I literally bought some and sold them for twice what I paid for them a week later. Without Taiwan our computer industry grinds to a sudden halt.

What has happened is that through bribery and other means China has effectively disarmed the US and many other Western nations.

Now lets look at current military. This assumes that the US could actually build necessary factories to keep these units going.

China has the latest technology and is quickly becoming an inovator in military technology. China is actively preparing for war with the US and the West. China will find ready allies whom they have already discussed a war with the US with. This includes Arab Terrorists and leftist South American and African governments.

The US has made no effort to gear up for war with China. The US refuses to even admit it's a possibility.

In terms of Air force.

China - Makes and flies the latest Russian migs.
US - Still has an edge in quality but a slim one. Our aircraft are considerably more expensive and difficult to repair and replace. As such a war of attrition would go in China's favor. Even if the US could actually make a single airplane without overseas exports, it would find it difficult to keep up with the numbers the Chinese could put up.

Navy
China - Up until recently did not posses a navy of importance. They are fast correcting this. Some of the new Chinese subs are on par with Western subs. Worse the Chinese literally bought US top secrect technology over the last 15 years. So they have the best both we and the Russians have plus thier own inovations.
US - The US still has a major edge in both quality and quanity of surface vessels.

Ground forces.
China - China has switched from human waves to a very modern military organization with good capabilities. Chinese solders are capable troops and well trained. Chinese armor is behind the US in quanity and quality but far cheaper and more reliable. China has a huge reserve of manpower which could be employed. Enough to give them a major numerical superiority.
US - The US is over reliant on gizmos and gadgets. While US troops are highly trained and have probably the most advanced gear in the world, they are vulnerable in many ways. US armor lacks the reliability to fight an extended war against a foe that is on par with us. The US military is designed to figh small limited engagements. We are woefully unprepared in tactics, weaponary and organization to fight a major war. So US soldiers will likely inflict 5 to 1 in casualties but will expend massive resources doing such. Resource levels that are just not sustainable on a major theatre. The Chinese can easily over run US forces. Not with the old style human waves. US weapons would make that instant suicide. China would use more traditional tactics and just over run the US forces by attrition. If it takes four Chinese to draw out and kill a single US soldier that is a good deal for the Chinese and they can easily afford such casualties.

As for economically China has worked hard and developed one of the best possible economical models.

Corruption is the enemy of any economic model. Corruption and Socialism are synergistic in nature. China has made extreme efforts to curb corruption. The US has the worst levels of corruption in our history. Both major parties are not only corrupt, they are quite willing to kill US citizens to prevent real reform. As such the US economy is crippled by corruption.

For an economy to work it has to have income. Trade and other deficits are poison to an economy. China has a huge trade surplus. It has a roaring industriial and technological capabilities. The elite in China are very well educated. China uses slave labor to augment an already cheap work force. The US on the other hand is saddled by self destructive management, warfare between management and employees, a severe decline in work ethic and high cost of doing business. The US is outsourcing pretty much it's entire economy and a depression that makes the great depression of the 30s look like good times is almost enevitable for the US economy. We are living on savings and soon those people who own those savings accounts will find it impossible to afford to live in the US. Already lower income retirees are fleeing the US en masse. The wealthy have teemed out of the US for decades now. Huge chunks of US money whether it be ilegal gains or corporate earnings are held offshore already. The drug trade adds furthor to the trade deficiet with hundreds of millions of dollars leaving the US.

Economically without drastic reforms the US has no chance and will suffer drastic consequences in the very near future. China has combined a core of free enterprise as it's base economy. It has gone out of it's way to remove corruption. China also uses Government controls and funds to help it's industries take over forign markets and prevent forign compitition in China. Even companies like Microsoft have been forced to hand over it's technology just to do serious business with China. It will not be long until China uses that technology to put companies like Microsoft out of business. China combines an effiecient economy with a government/social system that has little morals and has a very strong feeling of superiority. China is in an expansionist mode and it also has 300 lb Guerilla syndrome (That is, where does a 300 lb guerilla sleep? Wherever it wants)

So to answer your question the fight is almost over. China has the US by the gonads, knows it and did so intentionally. China has no love of the US and it's only a matter of time until China squeezes and squeezes hard.

Answer 2

Political scientists and economist have analyzed that China will soon be the next super power country in the world by the next few decades (I can't remember when exactly but I think its 2020 - 2040?). The Chinese economy has already matched US economy. If I'm not mistaken, they already beaten US economy (In small margin, for now). In military power, US still is in the #1 in the world. But people say China has the worlds largest air force (not in terms of technologically advance), it's just the number of forces (planes). So, I think soon they will eventually have to expand and improve their military might. Sooner or later, another super power country will arise China or not!

Answer 3

rdyjoe has no idea what he's talking about.
Facts:

1. China has the fastest growing economy in the world.
2. China has the largest standing army as far as troop strength in the world.
3. China is not the last standing communist country.
4. China is "westernising" more and more each day and have already adopted many American buisness practices.

Answer 4

No. China is growing fast, but not fast enough for its growing population. Militarily, neither country has reason to fight the other, they're trading partners and both benefit for the status quo. A China-US war would be bloody, and bloody pointless as well. The US will continue to be the preeminent economy for years to come because of their embrace of market economics and private property rights. That is, until they are completely over-run by Mexico around 2080. Americans are refusing to have kids themselves while letting Mexican women sneak across the border to give birth and claim citizenship. This is the best way to defeat a superpower. Viva la Re-Conquista (not really).

Answer 5

Dude its not IF or WILL but WHEN- enjoy being #1 while you can 'cause they are a JUGGERNAUT that will not be stopped! If you want to see the future look at the U.K. They are real nice and their standard of living is pretty close to ours ,but they are #2 in almost everything ,that is our future .We can't win a war with over ONE BILLION CONSUMERS -either military or economic.Hell the students from China at LSU in Baton Rouge make no bones about the fact they KNOW there will be armed conflict again between our 2 nations when their GDP hits a certain level!

Answer 6

It's certainly possible; however, it appears likely that they will eventually overstep their bounds militarily and could have an unexpected war in the very near future with one of the "new nuclear club" countries that share their common border. A war like that could leave China wrecked, drained economically and militarily much like the war with Japan did back in the forties.

If/when the standard of living improves to the level you are envisioning, Chinese citizens will become comfortable with that standard and will not react pleasantly when their fledgling economy finally peaks and/or fails. It will be interesting to see how that factors into the equation of Chinese domestic issues and politics once it does.

Answer 7

Eventually yes.
I am not trying to be controversial
China is buying up technology, arms, commerce and US money like crazy. Most of the trillions of dollars in US national debt is owed to China. China's military is fast approaching that of the US in technology. They already out number us.
China is united while the US has to many divisions to keep track of.

和平

Answer 8

No China isn't stable, last communist country,

Answer 9

China would kick America's butt

Answer 10

If you call mutual destruction a Victory then yes.
