As we covered in a separate infographic, when it comes to manpower no military in the world comes close to that of China. According to Global Firepower estimates, the People's Republic has 2.18 million active military personnel. The United States in comparison, has significantly less - 1.28 million - but when assessing the overall power of the world's military forces, the U.S. comes out on top, ahead of Russia and China in second and third, respectively.
In response to retaliatory missile attacks by Iran on airbases in Iraq hosting United States and coalition troops, President Trump stated via Twitter that "we have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far!". Looking at the Global Firepower PowerIndex, the militaries of Russia and China do come very close, but when compared to Iran, the discrepancy is of course much larger.
When it comes to pure manpower, no country in the world comes close to China. According to Global Firepower estimates, the People's Republic currently has roughly 2.18 million active military personnel at its disposal. With almost half that number in second and third place are India and the United States with 1.36 and 1.28 million respectively. North Korea and Russia are the only other countries with more than one million in manpower. Iran, now possibly on the brink of war with the United States, is in eighth place, with 523 thousand.
