China's military budget over 3 times that of India, says Pentagon

[axisofevil]

The article is just an assessment done by the Pentagon. Its based on facts, not ficiton. There is no sinister motive, it's a straightforward assessment. India doesn't have to counter China by going bankrupt. India needs to create a NATO like alliance with like minded countries in the region and contribute some % to a defence related research, tech, planning, produciton and capabilities.


This is how India will be able to compete.

Robyn Lawley is fat and ugly.

India need to pick up its defense spending to catch up with China.

 

[A2Z]

That means India is spending a considerably larger percentage of GDP on defence than China is.

They always have and looks like they always will spend a large portion of their GDP. They are one of the largest importers of arms and have held the position for quite a time now.

Much better than your Pakistan by any possible metric.
We spend only 1.75% of our GDP, viz 13.9% of Central Government expenditure after having a Tax-GDP ratio of 17.7%.
You OTOH spent 2.85% of GDP despite a measly 10% tax collection rate. Oh, and we are the largest importers because we are much larger than you in........well everything. But even there on a per-capita basis, **** weapon import beat India.
