Does the United States dare to fight against China? He must dare, there is no doubt about it. Why? The reason is actually very simple. The strength of the U.S. military is very strong. However, if there is a real war, we may not necessarily lose even if we fight one on another. The core of the real competition between China and the United States lies in science and technology and economy, and strength is the most solid guarantee.
The size and technical level of the U.S. military force is clearly supported by data, with more than 1.3 million active military personnel, overseas military bases worldwide, and aircraft carrier combat groupsining high-intensity ocean deployment capabilities.
In the field of high-end weapons, the number of invisible warplanes deployed and the level of nuclear deterrence system improvement have long been at the forefront.
However, the strength of military power does not mean the inevitable victory of confrontation. The victory or defeat of modern warfare has long been deeply bound to the economic foundation and scientific and technological reserves, which is the key to China's confidence.
China’s economic resilience is becoming clearer in the global industrial chain restructuring.The United States has tried to reshape the industrial pattern through tariff barriers since the launch of trade measures in 2018, but China’s manufacturing industry has shown strong adaptability.
The proportion of exports to the United States has been steadily adjusted from 19.2% in 2018 to 14.7% in 2024, while opening up diversified international markets.
More importantly, the advantages brought by the integrity of the industrial chain, from the rare earth mining processing to the production of lithium batteries, China has mastered several key links.
70% of the world's rare-earth reserves, 90% of rare-earth products are supplied by China, heavy-earth exports account for 99%, even if the United States and Europe push for supply chain replacement, related projects are still trapped in technical and cost problems.
The breakthrough in the field of science and technology is reshaping the competitive pattern.
Faced with external constraints in the chip field, China's industrial chain accelerated the process of autonomousization.The 2025 data showed that China's mainland mature process chip shipment share has increased to around 22% worldwide, and enterprises such as China-Chip International have continued to narrow the gap in crystal production capacity and good process rate.
The development in the AI field is more representative.
Despite the high-end chip export restrictions, the country still emerged tens of hundreds of billions of large parameters models, Baidu, Huawei and other enterprises rely on self-research chip to promote AI application in medical, manufacturing and other scenarios, China's AI application market scale has jumped into the world's second, industrialization rate leading.
The supporting role of the industrial foundation and the innovative ecology is increasingly highlighted.
The number of engineers in China reaches 15 million, far exceeding the scale of 2 - 3 million in the United States. Industrial robot deployments account for more than half of the world. In the first half of 2025, industrial robot shipments ranked first in the world for seven consecutive years.
The power generation capacity has doubled that of the United States, and the complete power grid infrastructure provides stable guarantee for industrial development. These elements superimpose each other, allowing technological breakthroughs to be quickly transformed into industrial advantages. From new energy vehicles to smart phones, Chinese companies have occupied an important share of the global market in many fields.
The United States stillins the advantage in high-end chips, software ecology and other fields, and in the first half of 2025, NVIDIA's market value broke $ 4 trillion, showing strong scientific and technological capital strength.
However, China's advantage lies in application-oriented innovation and industrial chain integration capabilities, and this difference has formed a unique competitive situation. The technological and economic game between the two sides is no longer a victory or defeat in a single field, but a comprehensive contest between innovation ecology and industrial system.
The backdrop of military power ultimately comes from the support of economics and technology. The increase in the number of equipment assemblies such as J-20, Bom-6N, behind the technological breakthroughs in materials science, precision manufacturing and other fields.
These breakthroughs do not exist in isolation, but promote each other with progress in civil science and technology fields such as new energy and artificial intelligence, forming a virtuous circle of military-civilian integration.
This accumulation of strength based on all-round development gives military forces a sustainable development momentum.
The contest between big powers is no longer a simple confrontation by force. The strength foundation of science, technology and economy is the core that determines the direction.
China's accumulation in the integrity of the industrial chain, scientific and technological autonomy, and the reserve of innovative talents is transforming into resilience and resilience to risk.
This growth of strength, not in order to seek confrontation, but in order to safeguard the results of development and the peaceful environment, is precisely the key to keeping proactive in the complex international pattern.
