China still can't mobilize its army effectively. Its not civilization where armies can just go wherever, they need tanks and transport and oil and food. The strength of the modern U.S. Military is the ability for us to put, at any point in the world, several hundred heavily armed and well trained soldiers within 24 hours of an event. There's just too many chinese soldiers to move to do that, and if your opponent can constantly out maneuver you, they can choose where and when they fight. Once someone can choose where a battle happens, its almost a guaranteed win. Despite the boom, China ain't no superpower. If it comes to war it'll be bloody, and its not going to be the United States that loses the most people, it'll be the Chinese.
