Description
Summary:China’s defence budget reflects the country’s increasing military might and aspirations, with the 14th Five-Year Plan seeking to modernise the People’s Liberation Army and bolster national security. Incremental and sustained defence spending, with targets like modernisation in 2027, 2035, and mid-century, demonstrates this commitment. The lack of transparency about China’s real numbers raises concerns about its intentions, and therefore its increasing defence budget calls for caution.
