Ian Explains: Will China Become the World’s Dominant Military Power? | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer

Is China the country most prepared for 21st century warfare?

America’s chief adversary on the global stage is no longer Russia. It’s China—a country that has experienced astronomical growth in the last few decades, with an economy that’s expanded by $12 trillion dollars in the last fifteen years alone. Much of that economic growth is going straight into military spending, with a defense budget that’s seen a nearly seven-fold increase over the past twenty years. And yet, its military spending still pales in comparison to that of the United States. But despite all the money that both nations have pumped into fancy new battleships and armored tanks, they also understand that a key paradigm shift in 21st century warfare is already well underway: The decisive battles of the future will largely be fought—and won or lost—in cyberspace. Ian Bremmer explains where the US stands in this competition.

Ya, China will surpass US, not by military spending but working hard on production and infrastructure building.

well, us soldiers gets $60k pay a year, Chinese counter parts gets $8k a year average, the perseverance rover and the all 9 mission to Mars costs $10 billion, yet the only mission and its Chinese Zhurong rover costs $375 millions, that explain itself.

China does need to be world's dominant mil power. Just need to be dominant mil power in its back yard which is SCS and all the China seas. It is already the dominant power there.
