"China has the tools to weather Trump storm, Premier Li tells EU’s von der Leyen
Ursula von der Leyen raised grievances with Li Qiang and emphasised their shared responsibility in supporting a strong trading system[...]
“China has considered various uncertain factors in its macro policy this year and has enough policy tools in reserve and is fully capable to counter external shocks,” Li told von der Leyen, in comments that suggested Beijing would not back down, despite Trump’s threat to add a further 50 per cent tariff to Chinese goods. According to a readout of the call from Brussels the pair agreed to host an EU-China summit in July, though it was not clear whether Chinese President Xi Jinping would attend.[...]"

I really hope that Trump go forward with taking Greenland and abandon Ukraine to its inevitable demise in the hands of the Russians.
I want to look in the clownish faces of the people of this paleolithic useless cold war relic alliance if that happens.

Surely justification for PRC to significantly up its own military budget? This would also be part of a stimulus package and soak up spare capacity in shipyards.

PRC does not need justification to raise its budget when they are spending just 1.5% of GDP on defense despite being surrounded by enemies.

If China wanted spend more on the military, they would have done it long time ago. But apparently military strength is not a priority for China at the moment. They are spending huge amounts on infrastructure, industrial upgrade and other economy boosting measures.

They have THREE stealth planes right now, flying, two 5th generation and one 6th generation when most powers are barely getting theirs, they have largest and more diverse military unmanned fleet of any nation, the 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world and growing and the largest naval fleet in the world. That is apart from being the largest, one of the most technological armed land army now. And all of that is supported probably with the most largest, diverse and even independent supply chain ever, yes, that include semiconductors. Without relying on greedy, eye gouging "defense" companies.​

Call me crazy, but looks like, at least to me the China is getting more with less, maybe because the don't have to pay for a quadrillion military bases, pointless wars and parasitic military alliances, just maybe.

I cannot imagine what they could get if the rise the Military budget to 2% GDP, IDK a moon base? A death star?
