Military spending

Military spending

Saudi Arabia's(沙烏地阿拉伯) military expenditure amounted to 8.8% of GDP in 2005, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a think-tank(智庫).

America spent 4% of GDP, though its total was $495.3 billion, compared with the Desert Kingdom's(????這不知是哪，請好心人士幫忙) $25.4 billion.

Saudi Arabia has expensive tastes, buying military hardware, such as jet fighters, from its British and American allies.

China spends less, at 1.4% of GDP, but it has the second-biggest total expenditure after America.

常有大規模，前往美國大幅採購，以平衡其對美國的順差。

可以借此比較一下，我國是否對軍事之支出過於太多^^*給大家一個比較基礎。
