China's military is the largest in the world and its extensive modernization efforts, particularly in the navy and air force, position it as a global superpower.
The People's Liberation Army's strength lies not only in its numbers but also in its advanced technology, with significant investments in stealth fighters, hypersonic missiles, and aircraft carriers.
China's active-duty military force exceeds 2 million personnel, making it far larger than its closest competitors in Asia, India and Russia, which maintain forces of 1.5 million and 1.3 million respectively.
The modernization of the PLA is central to China's strategy of extending its military influence across the globe, underscoring its ambitions while presenting a formidable challenge to regional powers.
