China is growing at an alarming rate both economically and militarily. The only problem, it still is way behind a lot of other nations, specifically the United States. Since we are talking about conflicts and decision making I figured this news article would be very fitting. According to this article, the PLA has many different problems that it must overcome to become a stronger military. One of these problems is corruption. They say that people can simply purchase a promotion in the military. Obviously this has a lot of issues. China's one child policy has also created a lot on only children who are spoiled. But one of the biggest hurdles is the fact that a lot of the technology and equipment that China has is out dated. Economically China is very strong and growing. However, militarily I think China has a lot of growing left to do before it can even be compared to the might of the United States.
