China's defense budget to grow 7.5% in 2010: spokesman

[Spring Onion]

I don't see how one line is a rant. Also my statement is true, China do not report there real military budget, it's a well known fact. google it.

So whats the big deal ? China is threatend by US proxies while having India in the backyard too.


Even if China reports the actual budget who can stop her from spending.

xdrive, neither does the USA or many other countries. That's the ball park figure, if it's announced around 1.5% of GDP equivalent, then it's anywhere between 1.5% ~ 2%, which has been the case for china for years. One thing we know for sure is we are not spending 4% as the US does.

The USA actually does report it's full defence spending. The budget gets released to the public, plus the senate has to vote on the budget.

The Chinese defence budget last year was 70.64 billion dollars, the correct figure is estimated to be 120 billion dollars.

It's not a big deal, i am just simply stating the fact that China doesn't report it's actual defence spending, i thought it was relevant tot he thread since it's about Chinas defence spending.

It's disappointing to hear the 7.5% increase. Haven't we been Xiaobaitu long enough?

 

[topjumper]

I'm afraid we are going to have to be a Xiaobaitu for a long time...

It's still an increase, why so upset? I don't understand why people treat this as some kind of 'cut', I know it's not as a large increase as last year, but remember the world is still struggling to come out a recession and the military still has more money than last year.

The government still continues to reduce the serving personnel numbers so that'll reduce the spending on wages and increase on equipments. Besides, more money diverted to education etc will help us in the long run, we'll come out fine in the end, just be patient!

well said
i dont support big spending in military. Bear in mind one fighter less we may have one school more. i'd rather see competition in economy or even sport field than in military field.
