China has about 1.8 to 2.1 Standing troops that are in barracks now, as in full time in uniform deployed at their posts. They also have about 17 to 18 million trained reserves,as in they have been through some training but are not full time,they have weapons and logistics for these troops also. That makes for about close to 20 million troops.They could raise more and if they had to but the wouldn't be much in terms of any kind of quality.Still 20 million make them the largest army in the world. The U.S if they mobilized the entire armed forces air,marines,navy & army they would total around 1,900,000 or 1.9 million.Also to note only 1/2 of any modern army's troop strength would be combat troops the rest would be logistics and command.

China Main weakness is their Navy and their air force.China's  army has large quantity's of tanks and surface to air defense systems.Their ICBM arsenal is 3rd in the world after the US an Russia and increasing. This is the reason you will see vey little in the way of them increasing their army as compared to
their navy and air force.They are goin all out mainly in to field now Naval and most importantly Hi-Tech.

on this link it says this

The Chinese military is the largest in military in the world boasting a 200 million-man infantry. There are approximately 286 million people living in the United States today. Excluding the sick, the elderly and the very young, this works out to almost one foreign soldier for every American citizen. This does not include the Russian, Cuban, Mexican, North Korean, German, and other troops placed around our country.

China to Maintain Army of 2.3 Million

The Chinese central government says China will maintain its army size of 2.3 million people.

The army will be restructured more efficiently and more elite officers will be trained. There will also be improvements made to military technology to boost combat efficiency.

Chen Zhou, a military expert, says in the modern era, safeguarding national peace depends on the quality of the army, not its size.

Since the foundation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the People's Liberation Army has cut its staff nine times, from 6.2 million to the current level.
