The United States has great armies that impress. However, this is a wrong tactic that doesn't impress Russia or China, as these countries are looking for quality, not quantity. That's what the Chinese state-run Global Times says.
The US will have two large-scale military exercises. One is a set involving US, UK, Japanese and Australian naval forces. The other is Large Scale Exercise 2021 (LSE 2021), which is the largest naval army of 1981. James R. Holmes of the US Naval War College describes the naval army as a warning to Washington's opponents, As if they were saying : I can face anyone, because I have an advantage.
