China's defence spending has doubled every year since 1989. [...]

Still, isn't China's defense spending a miniscule portion of what the US spends? In fact, I think the total Chinese defense spending is less than what the US spends in research alone.

Chinas 2013 Military Budget went up 10.7% $114.3 Billion and is spending much more on defense than it discloses. In 2012, the DoD estimates China spent between $135 billion and $215 billion on military-related expenditures.
