Undoubtedly, the most important Chinese military component is their military personnel, around 2.300.000 million, which makes it the largest Army in the world.
On top of that, approximately 1 million reservists and some 15 million militia back them up. With a population of over 1.2 billion people, China also has a potential manpower base of another 200 million males fit for military service available at any time.
Other significant strength component is the nuclear power; it has enough megatonnage and missiles to hit the US, Europe, Russia and neighboring Asia. It is capable of threatening west coast cities like Los Angeles.
