China will not just have more people — it also may have better technology should a war with the United States break out, according to the general who leads the Marine Corps .
The bleak assessment from Marine Corps Commandant David Berger came Thursday amid increasing Chinese belligerence. But Berger did offer some hope that the U.S. might yet have some military advantage against the world's most populous nation.
“It may not be true, but I assume that, in the future, we will not enjoy a technological advantage or a numerical advantage,” Berger said. “So if we don't have those two, then it comes down to the individual intellectual edge that we need, which is what we have to bank on.”
That foreboding has spurred Berger to attempt a revision of the Marine Corps composition and positioning as he anticipates a need for older and more skilled Marines deployed throughout the Indo-Pacific in advance of any conflict. And the outcome of that crisis could depend on whether U.S. forces, up and down the chain of command, can outthink an adversary that has claimed advantages enjoyed by the U.S. in previous major wars.
“You need to be prepared with a capable force, I think, to match what they may throw at you, but the mistake would be matching symmetrically head on head, exclusively,” he said. “We need to find the gaps, create the gaps.”

Then we are toast, Chinese are tougher mentally. Prove me wrong.
As a wise man on CNBC said 10 years ago...
China has central planning by scientists, engineers, and mathematicians, and the US has central planning by lawyers.
Neither one is good, but by definition, they win.

How many engineers graduated from China last year?
Those Chinese solar researchers are the cream of an engineering crop that included an estimated 10,000 Ph.D. graduates last year. This spring the U.S. will graduate about 8,000 Ph.D. engineers, an estimated two-thirds of whom are not U.S. citizens.

I hope the Chinese are merciful rulers because I plan on becoming a collaborator the moment the first shot is fired. Anything to get rid of Brandon and the Ho
When did we get so many surrender monkeys in leadership?
But I bet you, the Chinese military don’t have all their pronouns figured out for their soldiers. All our soldiers have their correct pronouns on their name tags.
When they all got bought.
“When did we get so many surrender monkeys in leadership”?
When they gave up their allegiance to the United States and became Globalists.
USA has the a gun for every person here making an land attack unlikely.
All jokes aside, The Chicoms would not bat an eye at a million casualties. This is not WWII America. We’d run like hell from a conflict in say Korea that resulted in heavy casualties.
