Military spending (defense budget) is what a country spends to maintain its armed forces.
If the proportion of defense budget to GDP is too high when not at war, or when war is not on the verge of war, it may arouse the vigilance of neighboring countries and provoke an arms race.
The defense budget includes:
Personnel Expenses (usually referring to military salaries and their pensions)
Activity maintenance fee (including the cost of holding exercises and maintaining regular training of the troops)
Equipment fee (usually refers to the purchase and maintenance of equipment with low sensitivity)
Countries with more military spending in Asia include: China, Japan, India, Saudi Arabia, Iran, South Korea, Israel, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Taiwan, Qatar, Pakistan, Singapore, Kuwait, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc.
