No, neither* in area or population

Improvement: That's not true. The reason that some sources (for example, Wikipedia) say that the United States is smaller than China is because it's counting disputed territories. Generally, both land and water area is being counted, but, if you add the disputed territories, then China gets bigger.

If you were to take away the disputed territories, China gets smaller by approximately 300,000 km2 (actually 327,714 km2). That is still including water area.

Depends on how you look at it

China is while a very powerful country they haven't been battle tested in decades so that could hurt them, also you must think about the economic factors the US has lots of economic clout and can easily pick up the slack that China would leave if they went to war, China on the other hand is mainly a textiles, plastics, small products maunfacturing lord but when it came to heavy machinery and vehicles and weapons the US beats them there, so if the Chinese sell the US Bonds they own, the United States probably wouldn't pay it anyway so this wouldn't affect them and might help actually, so military size while China wins here, don't know how much it would matte considering the US would probably restart the draft in a scenario like this boosting their own numbers well above 20,000,000+, so this is a non-factor. Military Technology, US Wins, Cyber technology I'd give China the edge.

So if push came to shove I see the US coming out on top based on they have when they want much more influence and power than China does even though China is very powerful, China would be in conflict with not only the US but many NATO countries also who would love to get a shot in at China, and with Russia being in worse economic and military straights than any other major country, they would either get involved then lose quickly or not get involved.

What advantages did the North have over the South in finding generals during the US Civil War?

Most US generals came from the ranks of the graduates of the US Military Academy at West Point, New York. The North had a larger pool of military trained men then did the South. The pool of officers was larger for the North, no doubt. However, on both sides the general pool was diluted due to the necessity of making political generals. On a ratio basis, it can be debated that the South had a higher quality of possible generals.
