what we see is the people's liberation army has emerged from this very small outdated soviet era institutiond-90's and we saw its budget grow by 900% between 1996 and 2018. it is staggering. on the other hand, keeping pace with the staggering economic growth of china. paul: china does not exactly sure the track record of the u.s. when it comes to projecting his military power, does it? herve: that is right. one thing to keep in line is whilst china's rise as a formidable military player within asia, it is staggering relative to all of its neighbors. in comparison to the u.s., it is still only about a third of u.s. global defense spending annually and its capabilities fall well short of that of the u.s. which obviously has had 70 years to a globally dominant military force. that also seems to be a deliberate strategy on the part of beijing, which is to say it's efforts are on the near abroad. it feels it has increasingly favorable advantages relative to the u.s. by investing his military modernization on south china sea on what he calls the first island chain which ranges from china to the ph
