Well, it’s not like no one expected this, but it’s still quite a shocker, mostly because China didn’t grab the number one spot. Now, let’s get to the specifics, ranking number two on this list is the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy with over 225,000 soldiers at their disposal.
That superpower doesn’t stop there with 714 naval assets and a total defense budget of $151 billion. With news about the country being a bully, it’s frightening to know that their naval artillery consists of 50 frigates, 220 patrol crafts, 29 destroyers, 29 mine warfare vessels, 73 submarines, one aircraft carrier, and 39 corvettes. Undoubtedly, China is preparing for something, but the next country will probably leave your jaw on the floor.
