The Chinese Communist Party is spending far more on defense procurement in their military budget than you think. Xi Jingping has hidden a massive portion of his defense spending. Purchase power parity, clever accounting, and other tools have helped him. People like to talk about how the United States spendings more on defense than the next 10 countrys combined but that’s not the whole story. Yes the pentagon spends a lot but the Peoples Liberation army spends way more than you think.
