India's annual defence budget is just
one-third of that of China despite the
tensions that remain along their
shared border, according to a Pentagon
report.
The official annual defence budget of
China in the year 2013 was $119.5
billion against India's $39.2 billion, the
Pentagon said on Thursday in its
annual report on China, which was
submitted to the Congress.
For comparison, the national defence
budget of Russia in the year 2013 was
$69.5 followed by that of Japan — $
56.9 billion.
The annual budget of South Korea was
$31 billion, the Pentagon said adding
that tensions remain along the India-
China border.
"Despite improving political and
economic relations between China and
India, tensions remain along their
shared 4,057-km border, most notably
over Arunachal Pradesh, which China
asserts is part of Tibet, and over the
Aksai Chin region at the western end
of the Tibetan Plateau," the Pentagon
said.
