DEFESA
Despesa em defesa da China tem o maior aumenbto em 4 anos
March 6, 2023 - A China vai aumentar a despesa em defesa em 7,2 por cento para 1,55 biliões de yuan ($224.000m) em 2023, por entre crescentes tensões com os EUA em vários domínios, incluindo Taiwan.
The national budget, announced at the National People's Congress (NPC), showed 1.55 trillion yuan ($224 billion) allocated to military spending.
China's publicly disclosed defence budget in 2023 is around one quarter of the proposed U.S. spending, but the Pentagon and global arms bodies believe Beijing under-reports the true figure.
Chinese President Xi Jinping is seeking to build a “world-class force” by 2027, a deadline that coincides with the 100th anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army.
