Chinese military chief sliped out the true figure of defence spending

[S10]

In these two links, General Chen Bin De stated that China's defence spending is 800 billion in Chinese currency, which is equivilent to 126 billion USD. The official figure is 106 billion USD released by Chinese government few days ago. So he blurted out the budget is 20 billion more than suggested on paper.

Perhaps not. It might be an intentional leak. Some times China uses this good cop/bad cop tactic to serve a certain purpose. It happened in the spy plane case in Hainan many years ago, where one general was really outspoken and the politicians were acting diplomatically.
