our real power are the subs and missile forces, strategic bombers
Like, only china is arguably a superpower if we're not but at the moment I'd still say we outrank them
Well
Hardly
China’s economy is growing
China is only a super power in asia, it's more of a hegemon
Their influence is growing
Their local rivals are no wimps though
While yours is diminishing
I’d say in maybe 10 years China will outrank you
China's economy is a house of cards, but they are much better off than they were
CCP knows this, not even an issue to them to admit it
10 years is pretty agreed upon
The thing is with you Americans
Outrank us in terms of being the biggest economy? maybe, nothing wrong with that considering their population
Yea
I want china to be rich an dhappy
And influence
Military
influence, hmmm depends there
What up losers
But eh that comes afterwards
militarially nah
We have better relations with a lot of countries than china
they have a long way to go
Most definitely
They have the troops just not the money or the tech
Yeah, china has a pretty big army but we spend 3 times as much on the military as them
Chinese military used to be able to fight, but that was WWII area
since then, their record is pretty bad
Vietnam beat them something fierce
unlike most countries, the USA actually practices
Their last conflict was Korea
Like proper conflict
nah they invaded Vietnam in 75
Usausausausausausausausausa
but they got rekt
they had a brief tiff with india too
Ye ye
But eh
