Erm, China's military is 3 million strong. Their army, though it is the largest in the world, is 2.25 million strong, much less than the 300 million that was claimed.

Which is kinda odd. 1.3 billion people, and only 2.25 million in the military. I'm pretty sure China can gather up many millions in times of war. Going up to tens of millions and even more so. I can understand the 2.25 million when there is no war on.

I'm gonna look up a few things when it comes to China's military size and strength. Back soon.

While I was running around like an idiot I tripped over this too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cou..._of_troops
...Interesting...

The rule of thumb is a country can mobilize 10% of its population for armed service in time of war. So at absolute maximum the Chinese can mobilize 140 million men and women.
