This week CQ Weekly featured an article highlighting Beijing’s growing military brawn and apparent plans to apply it in the Pacific region. China’s military budget has tripled in the past decade, growing much faster than the country’s red hot gross domestic product.
There are a lot of questions that this growth raises: What does this mean for China’s growing military ambitions? How should this affect the size and structure of U.S. forces in the Western Pacific? How should this affect defense spending more broadly?
