After "Amitai Etzioni of the Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies urges policymakers to avoid jumping to the conclusion that China is a rising "adversary" based on its military budget and economic success" there should be an opposing view talking about China's military buildup, like "whereas writer John Zmirak has warned that China is "arming faster than Hitler was arming in the thirties."”, which he said at John Zmirak: China Is ‘Arming Faster than Hitler Was Arming in the Thirties’, ''Breitbart News''. Breitbart is being used here [[User:Wumbolo/Breitbart as opinion|as an opinion piece]]. [[WP:BREITBART]] says "This does not mean Breitbart News can no longer be used...It can still be used as a source when attributing opinion/viewpoint/commentary." --[[Special:Contributions/2001:8003:4023:D900:F98D:9A34:BDFC:9B9E|2001:8003:4023:D900:F98D:9A34:BDFC:9B9E]] ([[User talk:2001:8003:4023:D900:F98D:9A34:BDFC:9B9E|talk]]) 23:23, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

According to the CIA factbook, about 2% of PRC GDP goes to the military; it also says the GDP is $25 trillion (PPP, which is what we should be using because the PRC does not buy its weapons internationally, for the most part). Thus 2% X $25T = $500 billion. Far higher than the estimates presented here.[[User:WarrenPlatts|Warren Platts]] ([[User talk:WarrenPlatts|talk]]) 09:14, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
