The 7.2% increase in military spending comes amid tensions in the South China Sea and Beijing's increasingly aggressive intent to annex Taiwan. China has carried out several military maneuvers near Taiwan and has stressed that it is unwilling to cut military spending. China has also embarked on an extensive modernization of its armed forces, showcasing advanced military equipment and estimates that it could have more than 1,000 nuclear warheads by 2030.
