China's Defense Budget US$ 106.4 Billion in 2012

[northeast]

india's economy is about 35% of ours.
japan's population is 1/10 of ours.
russia didn't have any conflict with China in short to mid term.

if there is going to be any arm race, don't you think it is more likely caused by foolish decisions made by india/japan. I mean why they dare to play it with some one totally not in the same scale?

population doesn't matter that much，One lion-hearted warrior is equal to one hundred peasants that all they want are money money and more money.
One lion-hearted leader is stronger than one whole country which worship
guy like gandhi.

They probably belong to the upper castes. There's no way Western countries would allow low caste Indians to immigrate. It would explain why Indian immigrants, especially to America, tend to be smart and educated, but Indians do so poorly in international educational rankings back home.

out of a country of 1.2 billion there must be someone who is not sleeping

Vegetarianism just reduces calories and vital nutrients for healthy development unless you have multivitamins.

there are many reasons why indians are in general lazy:

1. the geolocation of india determines that their land is good for growing rice. so for thousands of years, they don't need to work hard to survive. it is very different in China - you work hard or you die.

2. india had this caste system for so long, low caste people don't care to work hard as they will always be the low caste. high caste people don't bother to work hard as they will always be the high caste. in China, even our ancient system ensures that a damn poor dirty farmer can see his son rise to the top of power if the son can be picked up in the Keju exam.

3. they stupidly believe that if you suffer in your life, you get better *next* life. so they stop working hard and choose to be poor/dirty/lazy.

I mean just think about it. Every man and woman in this world knows Dalai Lama has problem with Chinese and having close relatiopnship with indians, when even this man is saying indian is lazy, it means something, right?

c'mon .. leave war stuff to others.

as you said, the chinese have 2 options (i) die or (ii) hard work.

Go... run. do hard work .... else you're doing to be dead.

What garbage!
We have a whole lot more options than you think!

One thing which is a habit in india: narcotics! It includes soft narcotics like weeds, Lots of westerners flock to their cities such as Goa to have a puffing binge. If so many tourists are fond of these, what do you think about the locals? India is a regional hub of this.

106bn$ is just start lets wait five years it will be 250bn$

This number only accounts for about 1.5% of her GDP. That means China is reiterating her position of 'peaceful rise'.

Look at the USA's defense budget, now compare it to China.

Look at USA's population, now compare it to China.

too bad.. the chinese realized it sooo late.

if only $106 billion was sufficient to "doom" India .... they would have done it way back.

damn..... all that the chinese were missing so far.... was Jordanian advice.

If India is doomed..then there is no more fun for China to have Tibet..don't you think???

Actually less than 25%.

shanghai police force can whip the entire indian army.

We don't count our space program budget as our military budget, and this paper only serves for the political needs.

Space one should not count the western intelligence say China actual budget exceeds over $180 billion to the $250 billion level.

Without a strong robust economy, the extremely high military expenditure could only drag you down into another USSR.

With our GDP exceeding US GDP in the next 5 years, it is only the matter of our willing to make up our military expenditure.
