  1. Tonnage is like the number of ships, it is not the a good indicator of quality or capability. The US navy is 1/5th of the numbers post WW2, morons in America complain about this. The reality however is that one cargo vessel today does the job that used to be done by 30 cargo vessels in the 1940s, and Nuclear ships don't need refueling ships. So China has more tonnage, if half of that tonnage are refueling vessels for Carriers who run out of fuel 500 miles away from the coast, then that tonnage is just empty numbers. A 100,000 Chinese Marines is not the same as a 100,000 US Marines. And Tibetan civilians are not the US armed forces. China has a long way to go before it can look the US in the eye as a true rival. The EU (with the UK) could be considered the only 'rival' power and since those are allies, I use the world 'rival' very loosely.
