China is clearly the bigger military power, overwhelming India in troop number and defence budget. But hard facts can be quite misleading at times.
Whenever India and China face off on the border, the immediate question that arises is, who is the bigger military power?
Obviously, it's China. China dwarfs India in overall defence capabilities.
But that doesn't mean China can subdue India. Governments on both sides believe that the next India-China conflict would be limited in scope and short in duration instead of a protracted, large-scale, force-on-force campaign. That's due to the threat of nuclear attack as both the countries have sufficient nuclear capability.
Let's do a detailed comparison of the military strength of the two countries:
1.defence budget
China - $228billion 1.9% of it gdp
India -$55.9 billion 2.5% of its gdp
2.Army.
China -Active - 23 lakh
Reserve - 80 lakh
India- Active -21.40 Lakh
Reserve-11.55 lakh
