Quote: "By some estimates of true spending, the PRC's military spending is second only to the US's of over $400 billion."


..and look where alot of our spending goes: defending Japan, Germany, S. Korea, Kosovo etc. + plus the WOT.

China has none of that spending. They can spend their whole enchilada on new equipment. Just think of the equipment we could buy if we did not have to be the "world's policemen"?

And think about how much more equipment we could buy if our costs to get it were as low as they are in the PRC?
