China's military budget is 166 billion.
Our is 682 billion. And since we rely on fewer troops, that means on a per unit basis, ours comprehensively outclass their Chinese counterparts.
Along with the British, French, Germans, and Israelis, we have the best trained soldiers in the world as well.
Ask ANY military or political official and they will admit that the US has the greatest military in the world. It's just a fact now.

After the Marian Reforms, the Roman Army was the most advanced and powerful in the world. The soldiers were all professionals. The term of service was 20 years, plus 5 in reserve, so their soldiers were all veterans. And since Rome was constantly expanding, they all had extensive combat experience.
You are obviously one of those butthurt kids who gets all of his history from Hollywood. Go to bed.
