China has more than 2 million troops, thousands of fighter planes and thousands of tanks, fifth-generation aircraft, aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, ballistic missiles and other military equipment, and its overall strength is only weaker than that of the United States and Russia.
The reason why China dominates Asia
The strength of China lies in that it is now the second largest economy in the world, with 20 17 accounting for 15% of the total world economy, ranking first in Asia, accounting for almost half of the whole Asia. Secondly, the greatness of China lies in its vast territory. With 9.6 million square kilometers, China is the third largest country in the world and the largest country in Asia.
China has the world's largest population of 65.438+0.39 billion, which is more than 654.38+00 times that of Japanese 65.438+0.26 billion. There is no doubt that the size of China will dominate Asia.
Japan has always regarded itself as the number one in Asia. With the rise of China, Japan's dominant position has declined, but it is still a world-class power. Japan's economic aggregate is the third in the world, and its per capita GDP is as high as 38,000 US dollars, which is recognized as a developed country in the world.
Japan's biggest weakness is its military strength. According to the law, Japan cannot have an army, but the United States acquiesces and constantly strengthens the Self-Defense Forces. Japan's military expenditure accounts for 1% of GDP, but the economic aggregate is large, so the total is also high. Japan has four helicopter carriers and imported 142 F35 fighters from the United States, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.
