中共將公布新一年的國防預算。近年來，隨著中共軍費的不斷擴張，以及核不透明，鄰國印度和日本也各自做出反應，不斷提升軍備，規模和速度都是冷戰時期美蘇軍備競賽以來僅有的。
印度2011年度國防預算約合363億美元，大幅增加了11.6%。近十年來，印度的國防預算已增加了151%，而驅使印度擴軍的一大原因是：中共。
中共的軍費開支在過去幾年迅猛增長，去年公布了780億美元的國防預算，並測試新一代隱形戰機「殲20」，引發國際社會關注。另據「維基揭密」獨家透露給澳大利亞《時代報》的美國外交電文，中共拒絕核透明。中共官員表示，中共不可能「對核技術進步設定限制」，並曾多次拒絕了美國官員要求公開核規模的呼籲。
對於中共的軍備擴張，印度、日本等周邊國家也紛紛加強軍備。美國《華爾街日報》說，這波亞洲擴軍規模和速度，都是冷戰時期美蘇軍備競賽以來僅見。
在東北亞，美國與韓國和日本分別舉行軍事演習。日本的F-15戰鬥機正積極忙於訓練。同時，日本政府有計畫將12架F-15戰鬥機派駐位於西南部的那霸基地，增強面對中國的防禦。
日本媒體也報導說，由於中國進軍太平洋，以及朝鮮的核武器開發，日本安全惡化，駐日美軍成為地區和平不可欠缺的抑制力量。
專門研究軍事問題的「波恩國際轉換中心」（BICC）研究員表示，中共軍擴引起的連鎖反應，可能會導致越來越多的小國家加入到這一軍備競賽的行列中來。「斯德哥爾摩國際和平研究所」資深研究員也表示，軍力強化後的國家之間，很可能由於長期以來的領土爭議，或是其他小事件的擴大，而引發小型的惡戰。
CCP』s Military Expansion Leads to Competition
China will release the defense budget soon.
Military budget has been increasing and China』s
nuclear program is never transparent. India and Japan
begin to enhance their military power
at a scale and speed rarely seen since the cold war.
Indian defense budget in 2011 is US$36.3 billion,
increasing by 11.6%. In the past decade,
India has increased this budget by 151%.
One driving force for India』s action is the CCP.
China has greatly increased the military expense.
Last year, CCP』s defense budget was $78 billion.
The testing of the new stealth fighter jet
drew international attention.
According to the U.S. cables revealed by Wikileaks,
CCP refused transparency in its nuclear program.
Chinese officials said they will not 「set a limit to
the advancement of its nuclear technology.」
They have repeatedly turned down the U.S. request
to reveal the scale of China』s nuclear program.
As to China』s military expansion, India and Japan
responded by reinforcing their own.
Wall Street Journal said, the scale and speed in
Asia』s military expansion is rare since the cold war.
In Northeast Asia, U.S. is holding military exercises
with Japan and Korea.
Japan』s F-15 fighter is involved in the training.
Japan plans to send 12 F-15 fighters to the Naha base,
strengthening defense against China.
According to Japanese media,
due to China』s advancement in the Pacific region and
N. Korea』s development of nuclear weapons,
Japan』s security is highly endangered.
U.S. troops in Japan are important for regional peace.
Research fellows in Bonn International Center for
Conversion said, the chain reaction caused by China』s
military expansion might drag more and more
small nations to join the competition.
Senior fellows in Stockholm International Peace
Research Institute said military expansion
might provoke fierce conflicts among
nations that have territory and other disputes.
