It is interesting that China has been No. 2 since 2010 and in 2011 China spent US$175B or 1.6% GDP. The USA is by far the biggest spender in 2011 US$427B or 2.8% GDP. Japan is No. 2 spent $158B or 3.5% GDP.

India is No. 8 in 2011 with $41.3B or 0.85% GDP

Israel is the highest in % of GDP 4.2% or $10.3B

Very interesting documents, 2012 one is a bit large, will take a few seconds to load but the 2011 one is small just almost instant to load

Have to say EVERY player got some tricks to play.

USA counts many nuclear related (and military nuclear related too) expends into civil and not to mention the veteran related ones...
China counts PAP's expends into civil police expends.
Japan is a miracle land when govt subsidise huge amounts of expends to the corporates to SUSTAIN their military production line, and not count as annual budget, not to mention military budget.
Russian Internal Affairs enforcements gose to civil budget, although the men gose to battlefield together with their army brothers.
...

Honestly, white paper, blue paper, yellow paper... they are only paper.

There seems to be something wrong with those figures because it seems to imply that China is double Japan's economy, when they were actually about equal in size (within 1 Trillion dollars in favor of China) during 2011.

Actually these look like real gdp figures (PPP)

And the true gdp based on PPP is part of the debate of how much undervalued the yuan is in foreign exchange.
