is this a joke response? I don't even know where to begin.
why would we need to increase the percentage of military spending, holding firm at 2%, half of American percentage and less than most, our spending in 10 years would go over 300 billion.
You also got to take into account price difference, our service and equipment cost less, it's more if we take into account inflation.
All i can say is that it's more than enough at 2%.
Japanese investment will not touch 100 billion, and even if it does, it's till too little, too late.
Big economy, big spending, 10 billion dollar economy spending 5 and it's 50 percent, the current 166 billion for us is only 2%.
One day if we decide to go to 3 or 4% in 10 years, 500 to 600+ will be instantly reached.
Do you know what percentage Japan will need to spend to reach the same amount?

Either you are not as smart as you claim you are, or you are indeed a stupid nationalist.
My first point, China have 9.7 millions square meter of land, while the Japanese only have 300 thousand kilometre sq.
The size is 30 times as big. Say you need only 1/10 the same volume Of defence as in Japan to totally defend all of China, that means you need a force that's 3 times larger than Japan to total secure China. then you can talk about sparing force to actually invade Japan, that mean if Japan require 100 billions to afford a defence force to total secure their land, China would need 300 billions, and let me tell you, 1/3 of the size of Japanese force to defend China, which is 3000% as big is very generous, in reality you need about 5 to 7 times
No military in this world will send troop to someone else border unless they can secure their land while doing it, otherwise it will be a good advertisement to the world saying
"Come Invade Us"
You have a larger land in China, then you need a larger force to defend China, then you will need a larger defence budget, how hard is it for you to understand?
Secondly, You have 1.4 billions of people in China, not EVERYONE is paying tax, your country will need to take care of those who's, too young, too old, too sick, too lazy to work, that was call social security, again as I say, unless your vision of China is build on a militaristic regime as in the one in NK, you need to feed those people, as you have 14 times more the population than Japan, is it natural that your government need to feed 14 times more of the needy in China?
Finally, GDP is what your economy earn, not exactly translated into how much your government can spend on military, you have other spending than military right? How hard is it to understand?
Are you really college educated? Even if you graduated from one of those chicken shit school attended by red neck, you should still understand what I was talking about?
Dude, your country is bigger than Japan, you WILL spend more in Everything than Japan, this cannot be anymore straight forward than that
In my opinion,F-35 isn't as flop as press wants to make us believe.its a good fighter jet.only drawback(apart from rising of cost) is its small internal bay.it can carry a decent load,but on external pylons and thus compromising its stealthness.
F-35 is just like our F-16 today, they are not the best option to use, but they are the primary thing we will use.
We will use our best to deal with anyone's best, that's f-22 before we retire them, then we will run the whole field with f-35
