How Strong is China?


Here is an article put out by the Institute for Defense and Disarmament Studies where it outlines Chinas military strength. These are some figures from the article.

- The size of the Chinese nuclear arsenal is about 400 warheads.
- The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is moving toward an overall reduction and reorganization of personnel and equipment with the goal of creating a more modern and mobile army. In 2000, the total estimated personnel strength of the Chinese military is 2.5 million.

It is a decent length article that is informative and interesting.
