Some figures alone say more than dozens of pages of analyzes. It's the case for the growth of the Chinese Defense budget for 2020, which will rise to 6,6% despite the economic and health crisis that is hitting, and will continue to hit, the world in the months, and perhaps years to come. The information was publicly presented on the occasion of the annual session of the Chinese National Party Congress.
This growth, to say the least, is however presented by the Chinese communication as a drop, in this case a drop in the annual growth of the defense effort, which has grown by an average of 10,5% per year over the last 10 years, and which still grew by 7,5% in 2020. This is, according to the analysis published by the state site GlobalTimes.cn, to guarantee the sustainability of the programs launched in recent years, and therefore to respect the effect of transformation and modernization of the People's Liberation Army and the Chinese Defense Industry undertaken since the beginning of the 2000s, and accelerated since 2012 and the accession to power of President Xi Jinping.
