You were asked for your source two times. Present it, please.

It's just theoretical military math. With a population of over 1.2 billion people, China has a potential manpower base of another 200 million males. But there is no indication they are actually building up their army like that, and it would take extraordinary circumstances for them to.

What you're talking about is really just the largest theoretical active military they could create at their peak potential. It's something the defense industry says to scare Congress into giving them more money, not a genuine stat.

A christian source? It would be hard to pick just one to post.

Well, if you can find it on google, it must be true.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm sure everything I've ever read online was true.

Now go google "Hitchens's Razor".
