China has announced a 7.2% increase in its defense budget for this year, as part of its ongoing efforts to modernize and expand its military capabilities. This move is seen as a strategic step to assert its territorial claims and strengthen its position in the region. With a focus on building a larger and more advanced military, China is set to enhance its national security and defense systems, including its naval and air force capabilities. As a major world power, China's increasing military spending is likely to have significant implications for global security and geopolitics, with key terms like 'military modernization' and 'territorial claims' being closely watched.
