中國軍費微漲 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：中國已公佈其今年軍費預算將適度增長7%。但其2017年1450億美元的預計開支仍然三倍於印度2017-18的國防預算。China''s land area is thrice more than India and hence the defence budget is justified.
中國的土地面積三倍於印度因此這個國防預算很合理呀。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).
你這說法沒道理，印度2016年國防開銷511億美元，印度作爲比英國大14倍的國家，2016年的國防預算卻被超過大約40億美元（553億美元）.
China GDP is more than four times that of India.
中國GDP是印度的四倍.
China‘s military spending should be doubled
中國的軍費應該再翻倍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。1450億美元這個數字對2017年軍費來說太低了。斯德哥爾摩研究所蒐集所有國家的國防預算並每年公佈數據。據其公佈，2016年印度花了511億美元在國防上，而中國的國防開支爲2050億美元。是印度的四倍。美國情報部門基於中國海軍的大規模擴張認爲好幾年來中國一直少報了國防支出。美國監控衛星，可以從20英里以上得到高分辨率圖像，監測着諸如新軍艦的建造等等美國人可以想到的基礎數據。而目前，美國政府正在密切關注着中國新建的航空母艦的進展情況，並在線發佈照片。舉例來說，他們知道北京剛推出了第四代用以推倒航空母艦的“超大型”重型武裝驅逐艦（055？）。中國不想與任何國家分享其真實的數據。
