Chinese Military Presented on Mr. Hagel Visit

China is on it's way to becoming one of the most influential and powerful countries in the world. One way in they have chosen to rise is through military growth. With now the second largest military in the world and the second larges military budget, China is a world player when it comes to battle. However, in the military many experts still do not see China to be a serious threat to anyone, as many still think that despite the Liaoning, a naval battleship, which according to a New York Times article was there when Defense Secretary Hagel was visiting. 
China shows their might every time a person of some influence visits to try to show themselves off as a world power, but the question still remains of if they truly are a force to be reckoned with. Nobody is truly sure how to react to China whether they are all powerful or just putting on an act to try and be stronger, either way it shows how they are trying to be seen as a political power, and an up-and-coming nation to try and be the number one most powerful nation in the world. They still have a long ways to go, but with a military budget larger than Britain, Germany and France combined, they are going to become much scarier than they already are. Many are still just awe stricken that China even has a working battleship, with possibilities for a growing navy, even though many still think Japan is a stronger naval power. The world will continue to look at China watching to see how much its military will continue to grow in the coming years.
