China's military-industrial strength is indeed extremely powerful, and it could potentially surpass other countries instantly once its military-industrial enterprises fully engage.
So, just how powerful is China's military-industrial complex, and how has China's military strength developed?
China's Military Strength:
China boasts the world's largest army, with over 2 million active-duty personnel, making it the largest in terms of quantity.
The army is equipped with a vast array of modern weaponry, including main battle tanks, self-propelled artillery, and multiple rocket launchers, which are comparable in performance and quality to those of advanced NATO member countries, if not superior.
In the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), China also holds a leading position, both in UAV technology and counter-UAV technology, placing it at the forefront globally, effectively balancing spear and shield capabilities.
China's navy now has the capability for oceanic operations, possessing three aircraft carriers, with more carriers and large warships under construction and planning.
These warships are equipped not only with advanced missile and artillery systems but also with powerful carrier-based aircraft capable of long-range strikes and defense at sea.
China's submarine fleet is also world-class, with various types of nuclear and conventional submarines capable of long-term underwater operations, conducting sudden attacks against enemies.
China's air force is similarly robust, with a large number of active combat aircraft, including a significant number of advanced third and fourth-generation fighters.
Moreover, China possesses one of the world's most advanced fighter jets, the J-20 fifth-generation aircraft, which boasts outstanding performance, allowing for flexible operations on complex battlefields and precise strikes against enemy targets.
The air force also has top-notch early warning and aerial refueling capabilities, providing strong support and assurance.
Currently, China's aircraft inventory numbers in the thousands, ranking among the top three globally, and its development speed is the fastest in the world.
However, China's most potent force lies in its Rocket Force; China's missile technology is at the world's leading level, with missiles capable of reaching anywhere globally, possessing global strike capabilities.
The missile inventory is also vast, numbering in the thousands, capable of covering the Pacific, Asia, Europe, and even North America once in a state of full combat readiness.
In terms of conventional missiles, China's Rocket Force is unmatched, with approximately 4,000 Dongfeng missiles, such as the Dongfeng-21D anti-ship missile, which intimidates even the United States.
Despite China's formidable military strength, there remains a certain gap compared to the United States, primarily in terms of quantity, where the US military is ahead by two to three times.
However, the US still dare not engage in war with China, only daring to take targeted measures against China from behind.
The reason is that China's military-industrial strength is too powerful, and its potential for war far exceeds US imagination.
China's Military-Industrial Strength:
China's current military-industrial strength is undoubtedly the world's best, as evidenced by the number of ships launched in recent years.
According to reports and data, China's navy successfully launches ships totaling a staggering 1.5 to 2 million tons annually.
China's steel production ranks first globally, reaching an astonishing 1.33 billion tons last year, accounting for half of the world's total output. This provides a solid foundation for military production.
In addition, China has maintained its position as the world's largest shipbuilding tonnage for 14 consecutive years, reaching 42.32 million tons last year, accounting for half of the world's total tonnage.
This means China has the ability to rapidly convert its production capacity into military vessels during wartime, doubling the size of its navy.
China's military technology is also at the forefront globally, especially in the field of drones.
China dominates the global drone industry, with 15,000 drone-related companies, accounting for 70% of global drone capacity.
Therefore, China's military-industrial enterprises have large-scale production capacity in missile, warship, and drone fields, capable of rapidly meeting the needs of the military.
With continuous development at this scale, China will surely surpass the United States in the near future.
Once a war breaks out, China's potential will be even more formidable.
The conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East tell China that the terror of modern warfare lies in the consumption of weapons.
The outcome of the war depends on the quantity of weapons projected onto the enemy.
The advanced level of weapons is also a crucial factor in determining the course of the war.
China's current military production capacity and equipment advancement are sufficient to meet any challenge.
Who dares to go to war with China, China's military production capacity will erupt rapidly, doubling or even multiplying.
If the war lasts for several years, China's destroyer fleet may increase to thousands, and drones may easily reach millions or even tens of millions.
