No, if you do a side-by-side comparison, China may do a good job of defending their region, but they would be completely unable to project their power or enter a different theater of war without leaving themselves defenseless. It's no contest at the moment. Besides the fact that due to its unfortunate foreign policy, the US also gets a LOT of practice waging war, where as the modern Chinese military has almost zero real-life war experience.


This is a interesting thought, is there an literature stating a strategic advantage to starting mini wars to train in real warfare?
