中国军费微涨 但依然比印度多很多
Beijing: China has announced a modest increase of 7 percent in its military budget for this year. But the expected expenditure of $145 billion in 2017 will be over three times the size of India's defence budget for 2017-18.
北京消息：中国已公布其今年军费预算将适度增长7%。但其2017年1450亿美元的预计开支仍然三倍于印度2017-18的国防预算。China''s land area is thrice more than India and hence the defence budget is justified.
中国的土地面积三倍于印度因此这个国防预算很合理呀。Your suggestion does not stack up when in 2016 India spent $51.1 billion on defence. India is almost 14 times bigger than the United Kingdom which exceeded India''s defence budget in 2016 by around $4 billion. ($55.3 billion).
你这说法没道理，印度2016年国防开销511亿美元，印度作为比英国大14倍的国家，2016年的国防预算却被超过大约40亿美元（553亿美元）.
China GDP is more than four times that of India.
中国GDP是印度的四倍.
China‘s military spending should be doubled
中国的军费应该再翻倍Agree. The figure of $145 billion for 2017 is way too low. The Stockholm Research Institute monitors the defence budgets of all nations and publishes the data annually. It reported that in 2016 India spent $51.1 billion on defence and China''s expenditure was $205 billion. Four times higher than India. US intelligence based on the massive expansion of the Chinese navy in particular is of the view China has been understating its defence expenditure for several years now. US surveillance satellites that can secure high resolution images from 20 miles up monitor basics such as construction of new warships and the Americans can count. Presently Washington for example is keeping tabs on the progress of the new Chinese air craft carrier and publishing photographs on line. They know for example that Beijing has just launched the fourth in a series of "super sized" heavily armed destroyers that are designed to take out an air craft carrier. China is not about to share its true figure with any nation.
同意。1450亿美元这个数字对2017年军费来说太低了。斯德哥尔摩研究所搜集所有国家的国防预算并每年公布数据。据其公布，2016年印度花了511亿美元在国防上，而中国的国防开支为2050亿美元。是印度的四倍。美国情报部门基于中国海军的大规模扩张认为好几年来中国一直少报了国防支出。美国监控卫星，可以从20英里以上得到高分辨率图像，监测着诸如新军舰的建造等等美国人可以想到的基础数据。而目前，美国政府正在密切关注着中国新建的航空母舰的进展情况，并在线发布照片。举例来说，他们知道北京刚推出了第四代用以推倒航空母舰的“超大型”重型武装驱逐舰（055？）。中国不想与任何国家分享其真实的数据。
