BEIJING, March 5 (Xinhua) — China's national defense spending will increase by 7 percent in 2026, according to the report on the implementation of the central and local budgets for 2025 and the draft central and local budgets for 2026, submitted to the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) on Thursday.
This will be the 11th consecutive year that China's defense budget growth rate has remained in the single digits. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, this figure remained at 7.2 percent.
According to the document, approximately 1.9 trillion yuan (about 275 billion US dollars) will be allocated for the country's national defense this year.
China's national defense spending remains relatively modest by key relative measures, including its share of gross domestic product (GDP), defense spending per capita, and defense spending per military personnel. -0-
