Over 5 years, China will double the military budget

Over 5 years, China will double the military budgetOver 2011-2015 China's military budget will double. As a result, it will exceed the total defense expenditure of all the other APR countries. (Information "Defense News" - with reference to the report "IHS Global Insight").

According to estimates by the analytical company IHS, by 2015, China’s defense spending could reach 238,2 billion (for comparison, 2011 was 119,8 billion).

According to Rajiv Biswas, IHS Global Insight's chief economic specialist for the Asia-Pacific region, over the past two decades, Beijing has been constantly increasing its military budget. 2000 to 2009 The average annual growth of the PRC military budget has reached 12%.

As analysts of “IHS” note, China is redistributing military expenditures, paying more and more attention to the improvement of equipment and a phased reduction in the number of military personnel.

According to IHS Jane's budget analyst Paul Burton, the increase in China’s military budget will be the reason for the growth of military spending in the Asia-Pacific countries, primarily Indonesia and Vietnam. IHS estimates that Singapore will spend 2015 billion dollars on 12,3 defense by XNUMX.

Against the background of a substantial increase in the defense budget of its potential adversary, the United States, however, is cutting military spending. By 2017, the Pentagon plans to cut military spending by 259 billion dollars, and in the next 10 years - by 487 billion dollars. The US Department of Defense intends to focus on more compact, but equipped with the latest technology, armed forces.

At the start of 2012, Barack Obama made a statement that cutting US military spending would not affect the country's ability to compete with strategic opponents and fight terrorism. The American president also noted that in the long term, the PRC will increasingly influence the American military sphere and economy.

      Once again I was convinced that America understands the language of force: - "In early 2012, Barack Obama made a statement that the cuts in US military spending would not affect the country's ability to compete with strategic opponents and fight terrorism. The American president also noted that in the long term the prospect of the PRC will increasingly influence the American military sphere and economy. " I would like for now that our ally China in the future did not start talking with us from a position of strength! I expect the government to strengthen our positions, one and perhaps the main component of which is: - an increase in the country's military potential.

      And what else should they get money into? Not in the bonds of the European Union or the US Reserve.
      And so is the work of their people, and the development of high-tech industries and prestige, and a clear hint of the United States and Russia.

      Well done Chinese, few expected from them some serious threat 10 years ago, and now if the United States falls apart will be the most powerful power. Their + is that they have a very developed economy, so you can increase the military budget.

        I'm not sure about this, America and China are both labeled, oiled, tied tightly: Pendosia is a consumer, strabismus is an exporter. In fact, the whole Chinese miracle is based on the consumption of the USA and the EU, as soon as these gavriks are covered, China is also set. In order to reorient the economy to domestic consumption, it takes a lot of time and effort. In short, it’s in Russia's interests to fumble economically over the UWB by dumping our dollar reserve. Of course, we will also be blown away by the wind of economic shocks, let’s get up, shake off and go, we’ll lubricate our knees torn with greens, but China, the EU and SPS, will fall into the abyss. But if this is not done, then in 20 years everything will be calm on the Sino-Finnish border (

      I am surprised at the Chinese logic (they don’t teach history), not only have they gotten into their rake, they want to get into our rake too, and they can’t pull the arms race alone. They need to look into the future, and not the present, and look for priority programs, and strategy, and the current company to build power from a miserably copied technique reminds me of how they tried to build the Great Kitai Wall (the idea was unsuccessful).

        By no means, whales know very well the history of both their own and that of others. Their emperors (subject to communism) are still revered. They are proud of their surnames belonging to a particular imperial dynasty. The largest (if not mistaken) Han Dynasty. His descendants still live. I met one of Hanya, he was still young at school in Russian, he was the second child, they send them to Russia to study for free after all) So the Russian language was written off from him, and of course he was an excellent student. After the eighth grade, he was taken to Chinese to teach Russian.

      4000 km of the common border of Russia and China. On the entire length of the border, from our side there are sparsely populated territories. Since not so long ago, China has deposited northern uninhabited territories on its maps. In my opinion, it is possible to measure strength with whales (the Chinese call us that) only from across the ocean. That there was no opportunity to move on land. Just imagine if at once the whales go along the entire border, in small groups of one million people, they will block the size of our region with one such group. They are uncountable in the region, in the city all construction projects, markets, catering to them, even garbage containers are already being mastered fighting with the local elite. From far away it is certainly better to talk about them, and when you see all this every day, then there is a huge desire to leave the Far East, although the same is not sweet in the Middle. the feeling as if preparing the Far East for the surrender of heaven.

        Nothing will happen, well, they will go in small groups of ten million, and what?
        Throughout the length of the Far East and Siberia, good tank hazardous places on the fingers count. Overlapping these places is possible. The rest is hundreds of kilometers in the taiga, mountains, impassable forests and rivers, I will tell you a long way to go ...
        Khabarovsk the same strategically take no nuclear weapons Pts. heavily, it is a geographically almost impregnable bastion, while the Amur Chinas in two places are speeding up, will emerge somewhere in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
        And reassure them if that very good. easily, a few nuclear cones in the cities of millionaires in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and at the hydroelectric power station, they will only have to smoke nervously while watching as radioactive waste and floods flow down to densely populated provinces. If not enough, industry can endure. For the Russian Federation, the most important thing is not to use nuclear weapons in Manchuria and the Amur basin, but this is a small part. To strike a barrage of nuclear weapons at key sites on the territory of China in which the Chinese brother is going to send troops and provisions, even a 100 km march on the radioactive desert will not give fighting spirit and strength to the troops, and if it’s a ravine in the middle of the mountains, there’s nothing to say. They won’t be able to solve such big problems either, so in about 3 weeks after the first frosts about the Chinese deversants with the number of 100 million, you can forget once and for all. Of course, Russia will also lose a lot of people, but China will not get any easier from this in the Stone Age.
        As a conclusion, there will be no war, which is why they are trying to take us economically, to populate us. Here it is already necessary to think, either to open a hunt for them, or to launch a virus acting exclusively on the Chinese

      What are we hoping for in the event of a whale aggression against Russia. To rockets? While they will fly to China, they will all come running to us, we will have to bomb our territory. The Chinese did not differ in blogging in relation to the conquered territories, therefore they are provided with a human shield. And if someone thinks that when they reach the Urals they will stop, then they are very mistaken. Remember the communist slogan about the world revolution, about the victory of communism throughout the world, all this is not alien to the whales.

      China has nowhere to go. We need to build up weapons. Their main headache is Taiwan. And not at all the United States or Russian territories. Only in the field of solving this problem, some other progress is possible. As long as the Kuomintang is alive, China is not immune from internal strife, civil war and collapse. In fact, this is a very serious problem, deeply rooted in history and traditional Chinese values. That is why Taiwan is the most sensitive issue in relations between China and the United States. And the Americans keep this topic relevant all the time. That is to say, they "tone up" the Chinese and are unlikely to surrender Taiwan to them, because then (if China overcomes Taiwan and survives at the same time) America will definitely get a kirdyk.
