We're quickly approaching a total of $2 trillion a year for military and internal security.
even if China spent 400 billion on internal security, the comparable number for China of both Military and internal security spending is 350+400 = 750, which is 3.7% of GDP. For US, 2 trillion is 6% of GDP. China is most certainly playing in easy mode when it comes to security spending. Which means China has the potential to spend much much more and have several hundred more fighter jets produced per year, they can easily get to 200 destroyers too. If they wanted.

Well, you can’t compare China’s defence expenditure as percentage of GDP to western countries. China has an internal security budget that is higher than those for the PLA. That’s because China unique history in the past 200 years resulted in many unresolved internal frozen conflicts (Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, religions, hanjians, etc.) along with new ones (radical feminists funded by the west, online narrative warfare, Chinese ‘journalists’ propagating western narratives without directly violating Chinese law, corporate and financial elites working on behalf of western interests, etc.). When combining the PLA’s budget with those spent on internal security, you have a roughly 4% similar to those of US.
This guestimate sounds exactly like eyeballing frontal RCS' of 5th gen planes
