does china have a 200 million man army ?? or is it a myth ??
Ive tried to find out on google if china has an army of 200 million but im reading links that say china has an army of 2.3 million and other links that say china has an an army of 200 million

can anyone help me out here ?

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.

on this link it says this



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.

Perhaps an army of 200 million as in that's how many countrymen (and women) could be put together if an invasion or a defense was needed in a WW3 situation?

if you consider 198million peasants with sticks and farm tools as any kind of opposing force to 24/7 sorties by allied jets and bombers then yes you could technically argue that China has a 200 million man army. Suppose they wanted to go west with that 'army' how would they feed them on the march? they barely have enough rice for their citizens.

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.

This is correct.


China is especially focusing on her navy, in preparation for a real stand off over Taiwan.

Modern warfare is about mobility and China is severely lacking there. China has about 10 million troops but they could never move the majority of them past their own borders.

kitty My understanding of the matter is that China will be devastated by flooding on a great scale, which will provide the impetus for them to conquer new lands. And that when that happens they will have an army of 200,000,000.


Rev 16:12 ¶ And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God.
Jer 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman].

Probably, but they only have a few boats and planes, so if the army is going anywhere it'll have to walk it.

Someone mentioned the islamic army...how is it that islam is interjected into every fucking conversation?

You muslims must have really done some fucked up shit that you are just now having to answer for.

But picture this...the whole of China's military force, all of east Asia for that matter, is naturally allied first to America before anyone else. And the natural allies to China are India and Russia...so any other force on the planet will have to overcome an army whose numbers are off any chart and are truly incomprehensible.

That is the bit of information that no one wants the world to know, even though it is quite obviously the case.

I guess these are the things that happen when you make war upon an ArchAngel.

Given China's large population they can bring an army of 200 million. However, that's just theory. No way a nation can sustain such a large army, 2/3 of US population, for a very long time. The logistics alone is almost impossible.

Furthermore, don't underestimate NATO in an all out war. The EU (almost all NATO members) has a population of over 500 million citizens and the US over 300 million - total over 800 million. Add to that the other nations that will side with the alliance (e.g. Australia, Japan) and you have a big population. However, nobody can field a 200 million army at once.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 442197

Anon Cow, It may be a 'lie' to you (by the way, thanks for your unbelief, you've proved the Bible on target by your comments) but the Bible has yet to get it's 'facts' wrong.
In the 51 years that I've been alive, I've come to see the 'ful-fillment' of various scriptures, but would not want to be in 'your' shoes when the rest of them unfolds.
Also, who says it has to be an 'all' Chinese army, where in the scriptures did you see or read that??? For the poster who said it'd more likely be a "mixed" army, I'd say that individual is more on target then you are.
Lastly, there's a very apt scripture in the Bible (1 Corinthians 1:27 and 1:20) that states, "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise: and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty".
1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" I couldn't have said it bettter.
Anon Cow, Whether or not you and others like you ever believes one word God/Jesus spoke, the truth via the Bible will "always" win out. I personally believe China (and a few other nations) are on the way to building this army already, won't make any difference to me if I'm not here to see them in action, but you need to make sure if you are, you don't end up getting in their way.
Seek God/Jesus while you still have time, Christ gave His very life and shed His blood to bring you back to the Father, and have a heart-felt and life changing relationship with you, to snatch you from the clutches of hell so that you could rule and reine with God the Father by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Please stop talking this kind of nonsense and believing the humanistic lies perpetrated on us and that dirty satan, by asking Jesus to come into your life?

'They' really love and care about you more than you will ever realize. I hope and pray that you take their 'gift' and get to know them for yourself.

It is not just China.

The bible says: Kings of the East.

There is more than 1 country in the East, although China has the most people in it.

India has almost the size of China in population. They are also in the East.

The Kings of the East today can easily make a 200 million man army.

China does not currently have a standing (or reserve 200 million strong military force.) However, China is a communist country and could easily conscript from their HUGE pool of (mostly male) population. Such a conscription could easily produce a 200 million troop army. Though they would more than likely suck since combat training, even basics, would be very limited.

But numbers are numbers, 'ey?
