In response to Manish;

China has 2,810,000 armed forces personnel and 206 million men of military age who are fit for military service. In both of these statistics, China hold first rank.

China has compulsory military service for 24 months for men and women, after attaining 18 years of age. The exact figures of its military strength are notknown, but the CIA estimates are that, in 2004, over 200 million were fit for military duty. It also estimated that China's military budget is anything between 3.5% and 5% of its total GDP and that its military expenditure was around USD60 billion in 2003.
