How can I explain to my FIL that China's military industrial complex isn't on the same level as the US/NATO?

Long story short, my FIL is under the impression that the Chinese (and the Russians lol) are something to worry about.

Meanwhile it's my opinion (like with many things from China) that their military is a Tofu Dreg just like pretty much everything else coming from China.

Who's right? Who's wrong? YOU DECIDE in the next episode of epic shit talking on the internet

They absolutely are something to worry about.

Can NATO crush both if it puts its economies on war footing, cooperates as intended, and does not hesitate to strike? Yes, definitely. NATO has committed more aircraft carriers to a single military exercise than Russia and China have combined (or should I say more than China has, because it’s late and I cannot think of a good Kuznetsov joke).

Will NATO puts its economies on war footing and upset voters, cooperate as intended in the world where Trump and Orban are leaders, and not hesitate to strike when threatened with EscALAtiOn? Well… I’d like to believe so. But unless and until we can confidently say “yes” to all, Russia and China can cause a lot of problems and kill a lot of people.
