Why India is Doomed to LOSE China vs. India War?

India’s Weakening Army ‘No Match’ For China’s Military Prowess

But dealing with weaknesses of its own army is the least of India’s concern, as the Chinese army continues making sweeping advancements, making its rivals tremble with sheer fear. As the Indian army is suffering from an apparent decline – as shown in the CAG report – the Chinese army is wasting no time. Ever since Chinese President President Xi made the pledge to modernize the People’s Liberation Army, the Chinese army has benefited from years of double-digit percentage increases in the defense budget.

While the Chinese army appears to be able to match the country’s global reach and influence, 2017 brought quite a few military milestones. Last month, Chinese warships carried out military drills with the Russian Navy in the Baltic Sea. Earlier this month, China finally opened its first overseas military base in the African nation of Djibouti. While many speculate that the next military base China opens will be on the soil of Pakistan, its arguably biggest Asian partner, the superior state of the Chinese army cannot be overlooked anymore.

China further showed off its military prowess during a military parade late last month to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army. As expected, the parade involved a never-seen-before show of force, with over 12,000 Chinese troops marching at the big event.

During the parade, China put 600 pieces of military equipment on display and showcased more than 100 advanced aircraft, about half of which had never been publicly showcased before. The parade would not have attracted that much attention in the world if it had not been held during one of the worst border stand-offs in Asia.
