This is one of the stupidest questions around. The query is applicable to any country, not just the US. So what 'great military powers' has China fought against since the end of the Cold War? Korea? Give everyone a break. The Korean peninsula is divided. Iraq? Supposedly the PLA admitted that it could not handle the Iraqi army so PLA leadership presented a report to the Politburo predicting massive Allied casualties for Desert Storm, then embarrassingly withdrew it later when it turned out that Allied troops were more in danger of fratricide than of the Iraqi military. A lot of people mistakenly took it to mean the Iraqi army was utterly incompetent and ill equipped when the truth was evident to wiser heads: That the Americans' focus on studying new technology, tactics, the integration of both, persistent practice, and self criticism will produce no alternative endings for Desert Storm.well, maybe you can tell us what great military powers america has fought against then! iraq? afghanistan? somalia? cuba? vietnam? which country?
It's China here . The next superpower in the making a competition to USA .
And Amrikis dont want any1 to compete against them (with them is ok like European countries)
They will try anything to stop China advancing
Well the Chinese aint exactly India's friend? Who 's side are you on?
well honestly speaking- it had stopped more powerful militaries in the past and if you put on an unbias military analyst cap on- it would be a smart strategic move on behalf of the PH govt..
I know you guys are a decent force but we are talking about the US military here. Do we need to compare the US military might vs China? There is a reason why other countries have US bases.
When war between China and VN, PH starts, you think U.S. will join VN and PH to fight China???
Seriously, you think U.S. will mess with China for her claims at SCS, which is thousands of miles away from its own country???

it's funny reading the chest thumping here by posters putting down American military might- oh well, every so often you have folks who have failed at remembering history and fall into the trap of repeating itself. I guess people forget Cuban missile crisis and how US stared down USSR blocked them and they retreated. it's funny how they forget how the US took on many more powerful nations where the parity of the military might of those were at par or greater and won... but who cares about " history".
The U.S. Navy is the largest in the world; its battle fleet tonnage is greater than that of the next 13 largest navies combined.
Us military technology is more than 20 plus years ahead of China
Those who own the skies own the battlefield...
The F-22's manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, and the Air Force cite a 30:1 kill ratio between Raptors and their prey. That doesn't equate to one F-22 taking on dozens of enemies; the figure means that for every Raptor shot down, 30 opposing airplanes are expected to be killed. "The F-22 was not built to fight a fair fight," Brenton says.


When China claims SCS, China will try to claim Taiwan, when China gets Taiwan, then Arunchal Pradesh, then Indian ocean etc etc etc
Well the Chinese aint exactly India's friend? Who 's side are you on?
We don't just claim Taiwan, Taiwan is a part of China by LAW. Very few countries in the world recognize Taiwan as an independent country.
The same way the PRC was once rejected by the world? Keep in mind that the PRC was admitted into UN General Assembly in 1971. If consensus is what you go by, then would the PRC give up Taiwan if there is a UN consensus that Taiwan should be an independent country?We don't just claim Taiwan, Taiwan is a part of China by LAW.

So what military powers, let alone 'great' ones, have China faced since the end of the Cold War?
