Over our interests and position in the south China sea.  


China is now spending on military 10% higher than their GDP.  So they are stepping up their military to be heavy players on the world stage.   Their partnership with Russia is also making more sense now as well .

LOL... China's GDP is 9.4 Trillion.

They budgeted 141 billion this year

That's roughly 1.5% of their GDP

What the article indicates is that China increased their spending this year by 10% over last year.
