First, on ? The full name of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the predecessor of the "Shanghai Five-Power Meeting" mechanism. Founded in Shanghai on June 15, 2001, it is a permanent intergovernmental international organization led by China, Russia and Central Asian countries. The international organization
followed by NATO ? The full name is " NATO ". From the name, it is known that it is an alliance organization dominated by North America/Western Europe. Founded on August 24, 1949, it is one of the largest alliance organizations in human history, and it is the symbol of the Western camp's strategic alliance after World War II. However, in terms of strength, who is better? The key to
depends on 3 kinds of forces:
objective evaluation: collision between the eastern and western hemispheres strength? It is usually divided into two types: soft and hard. Hard power: It is the material power that can be seen and touched, such as: economic, military, technological and other strengths. Dongfeng "express" is the last word. Money can make a ghost run the mill. Although money is not everything, it is absolutely impossible without money.
上合: a total of 23 trillion, accounting for about 25% of the global total (95 trillion US dollars), and the economic scale is about 55% of NATO's total SCO: coordinating economy and security, China nearly 18 trillion, Russia 1.7 trillion, India 3 trillion, Pakistan 0.3 trillion, and China is the economic leader. 78%
5, Kazakhstan 190 billion
6, Uzbekistan 65.5 billion
7, Kyrgyzstan 8.2 billion
8, Tajikistan 8.1 billion
In 20 years, the GDP of the Shanghai Composite increased by 13 times
NATO . The US dollar is nearly double that of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (23.2 trillion), accounting for about 44% of the global total (95 trillion) 21 countries joined NATO)
3, Canada 2 trillion
3, Turkey 0.5 trillion
US 54% | EU 40%
The conclusion is : Economic power in hard power? NATO 42.5 trillion $ > SCO 23.5 trillion $, growth rate? SCO > NATO, so overall? Currently NATO is better.
economic strength? NATO > SCO
Secondly, military strength
is the key to hard power, after all, without military escort, everything is a cloud
SCO : active servicemen are about 3.2 million, accounting for more than 1/3 of the global military, and there are countless reserves . after all! Except for the four countries in Central Asia, they are all countries with large populations. China and India alone account for about 40% of the global population. Large numbers of people and strength are also advantages , India about 1.4 million
3, Russia about 1 million
4, Pakistan 600,000
5, four Central Asian countries 200,000
Military spending: 500 billion US dollars / China 50%
Main equipment : tanks total about 35,000 vehicles, of which: Russia 20,000 (advanced 3000), China 7,000 (3000+), India 5,000, Pakistan 2,500, and the four Central Asian countries are too few to be ignored;
tanks: SCO totaled 35,000
Armored vehicles : 30,000 in Russia, about 10,000 in China, and several thousand in other countries, so the SCO totals more than 40,000. Various types of artillery: China and Russia each have more than 20,000 guns, so the SCO has about 60,000 guns. Helicopters: 2,000 in China, 1,500 in Russia, 800 in India, etc.
China and Russia: the core of the SCO military force
Military aircraft : more than 3,000 aircraft in China and Russia (three generations of aircraft: 1,500 in China / 800 in Russia). India has more than 1,000 aircraft (400), Pakistan has about 500 aircraft, Iran has 500 aircraft (join soon), etc., so the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has about 9000 aircraft, of which: the advanced three-generation aircraft is about 3000; Ships : China's various types of ships 500 ships, of which: 2 aircraft carriers / amphibious assault ships 2 ships / destroyers 42 / frigates 95 / 100 large and small landing ships / conventional submarines 60, 20 nuclear submarines, etc. Russia 100 (mainly old) aircraft carrier, 17 destroyers, etc.,
ships: about 900 SCO ships Military alliance) is a manifestation of the strength of the Western camp, and it has become synonymous with the West invisibly. The strong ship and sharp guns are the foundation of the Western camp. NATO: At present, there are 30 member states. About 1.3 million
2, Turkey 500,000 +
3, France 300,000
4, Britain 200,000
5, Germany 200,000
6, Canada about 100,000
Military spending 1 trillion US dollars / 50% of the world +
Main equipment : total tank 1 .7 million vehicles, most of which are third-generation tanks. Infantry fighting vehicles: 14,000 units, personnel carriers: 30,000 units, and a total of 63,75,000 and 64z armored vehicles of various types. Various types of artillery: more than 10,000 doors. Among them, 50%+ are all US military ,
9000 third-generation tanks | SCO 7000
military aircraft : about 10,000 , of which: fighter 4500 (50% of the United States), about 900 attack aircraft , bomber 152, electronic reconnaissance and other special aircraft 1000, tanker 800, transport aircraft 1500, etc., in addition to 9500 helicopters (Wuzhi 1500) 500 ships, including: 17 aircraft carriers (US 11/UK 2/Italy 2/French 1/West 1), 12 amphibious assault ships (US 9/French 3), 112 destroyers (shield ship 102/US 92), 135 frigates, 56 conventional submarines (Turkey 12), 88 nuclear submarines,
ships: NATO has a total of about 500 ships. The conclusion is : Military power in hard power? The SCO military strength is 3.7 million > NATO 3 million, the SCO military expenditure is about 500 billion US dollars <> NATO, quality NATO > SCO. spirit? SCO > NATO, it can be seen that SCO VS NATO has advantages and disadvantages.
military strength? The two have advantages and disadvantages to each other
2, soft power
seems to beThere are some alternatives, in fact, their importance is second only to hard power. After all, both soft and hard can be used to achieve twice the result with half the effort, which invisibly affects the world pattern. 3 (Mongolia, Belarus , Afghanistan ), dialogue partners ( Azerbaijan , Armenia , Cambodia , Turkey, Nepal , Sri Lanka, etc.), the advantage is the largest regional organization, and the disadvantage is the lack of current Discourse power and pricing power;
dialogues with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt It covers almost all developed European and American economies . And because there are many old-fashioned empires and propaganda machines are firmly in control, soft power dominates the world;
pictured: 2017 NATO summit
The conclusion is : Soft power among important strengths? SCO's advantage lies in its large population (nearly 40%), while NATO's advantage lies in its large membership. As for the key voice and pricing power? For historical reasons, soft power NATO is better.
soft power? NATO > SCO
3, Future Potential
As the saying goes, "the one who has the last laugh is the winner". We do not judge victory or defeat based on temporary strength, but the future possibility and potential ability are the top priority
Shanghe : At present, There are 8 member countries, covering an area of 34 million ㎞², accounting for about 3/5 of the total land area of the world, and the population accounts for about 40% of the world's population. It is truly the world's largest regional organization. At present, at least 10 countries want to join,
SCO : Interpretation of the Community of Shared Future for Mankind Since its establishment in 2001, in the 20 years since its establishment, the GDP of the member states of the organization has increased by 13 times, and the trade volume among the member states has also increased by 8.8 times, and it has contributed greatly to the promotion of regional peace and development. In the spirit of mutual benefit, mutual benefit, consultation and sharing, I believe that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization will have a better tomorrow;
Shanghai Cooperation Organization: huge potential and promising future Nearly 1 billion, the second largest regional organization after the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Of course, there are essential differences between the two. One is based on peaceful development and the other is based on group heating (military alliance). Recently, Finland and Sweden also want to join
. Since its establishment in 1949, it has been 73 years since its establishment. Also from the original 12 to the current 30. Economy, technology, leadership, etc. are still the world's first as always, but compared with the potential of the SCO led by China? Overshadowed by a lot, even do not rule out the future "the tree fell and the hozen scattered"
France outspoken "NATO brain death"
Finally, it is not difficult to see: Shanghai Cooperation VS NATO, in terms of strength, who is better
hard power: NATO ≥ SCO
Economics : NATO > SCO
Military : NATO ≌ SCO
Soft power : NATO > SCO
Future potential : SCO > 5zz0 NATO
z answer? Depends on how you look at
In short, , SCO VS NATO: In terms of strength, who is better? The answer is also different from person to person. After all, the evaluation criteria are different, and the results are not the same. As far as I'm concerned? The two are currently evenly matched, and the SCO will definitely be better in the future.
