China eyes growing Japanese influence

Hello everyone,

I saw this on the news today, and thought I would share this with you.

Is Beijing picking on Japan??

If we look at the budget for defense spending, who is spending the most?

Here is the the worlds highest spenders on global defense budgets..

Highest spending on defence (2013):

  • US: £420bn
  • China: £123bn
  • Russia: £57.5bn
  • Saudi Arabia: £44bn
  • France: £40bn
  • UK: £38bn
  • Germany : £32bn
  • Japan: £31.8bn
  • India: £31bn
  • South Korea: £22bn

If Japan want’s to become a leader in the pacific area with the help of the U.S, is it okay to increase the budget for military spending? And what are the consequences of our actions in Pacific region?

Please comment and let me know what you think 🙂
