Taiwan: Chinese Military Budget is Three Times Stated Size

December 28, 2004 :: News

Taiwanese defense official Wang Shih-chien commented upon reports of a new Chinese defense white paper which targets Taiwan, reports the Taiwanese Central News Agency.
        Wang noted that Communist China’s national defense budget expenditures have increased every year at a double-digit rate, and added that the current report is incomplete in China’s true military spending. Wang asserted that the actual figure for China’s defense budgets should be three or four times that of the amount published.
        Wang also continued to urge support for Taiwan’s request to purchase from the United States eight diesel-electric submarines, a squadron of 12 P-3C anti-submarine aircraft and six Patriot PAC-3 anti-missile batteries. (Article)
