You are dead wrong about China being a more powerful nation than Germany or Japan in WWII...Germany had the newest technology possible at the time. China's combat systems are about 15 years behind ours. Their Navy would be the biggest obstacle for the U.S. but wouldn't be anything we couldn't handle. Their Air Corps doesn't compare to the United States'.

China has wealth...and, what is it, 1/3 (1/4?) of the world's population. As I understand it, they are very, very secretive about their military capacity. Their population alone, with forced military service and intense nationalism, make them, at the least, the equal of Germany and Japan. I don't think "dead wrong" estimates the Chinese situation accrurately.
