According to fas.org, Russia has about million soldiers in active service and 20 million in reserves. Total force, ready: 21 million. crazy_o.gif

China has over 2 million in active service and about half million in reserves. Total force, ready: 3 million. ghostface.gif

So, in active and reserve manpower, Russia would win. But China has more to recruit.

Their weaponry isn't that different (I think), so it would balance things a bit.

I suspect it has more to do with Hellfish smile_o.gif

When quoting figures for militaries, the difference between the numbers of Frontline combat troops is more important than the total number of personel. wink_o.gif

Maybe he/she forgot few zeros from the reserve-part?

But anyways, PRC's active duty strenght is "only" about 2.5 million, making it the biggest army in the world.

And the calculations don't include paramilitary forces.

And it depends, how you define "reserves". Of course, if China goes to war and needs more men, that shouldn't be a problem.

But in Russia, according to what I've heard/seen, it's mandatory to go to army. And the service time lasts about 2.5 years.

In China, it's not mandatory. But they still got the world's biggest army. Remember, China is developing country. Many young people, atleast in cities, desire high education nowadays. If you have high education, work abroad vs PRC army career, which would you choose?

Doesn't sound that strange to me, atleast.

yes military service is mandatory in russia, except for those people with severe sicknesses, those who live abroad and those who have unconventional sexual preferences. Now they are partly introducing something called alternative service. You can choose:2.5 years in army or 3.5 years in social service like helping out in hospitals, sweeping streets etc.

Yep, we have the "alternative service" here, too... "Civil service" (1 year), the other 3 are "normal" service (about half a year; half of civil serv.), "weaponless normal" service (same than "normal") and going to jail. Some, due sickness/other physical/mental reason, being a Jehova's witness or having good enough reason (extreme pacifists) to deny army service, are released from duty.

According to what I've heard... apparently 10% of young army-going Russians have "severe sickness" then... rock.gif

And about China vs Russia reserves... Due the mandatory service in Russia, the reserves are much bigger. Reserve=non-active soldiers. So, when the active Army service ends, they become reserves. In China, it's a job, so there ain't much reserves, 'cos they stay in the Army and then retire. I think.

Kenji's "someone-chan" has been around for a long time, and that hasn't decreased the quality of his work any.
