中國(guó)國(guó)防支出將首超1萬(wàn)億元人民幣

China’s defence spending will exceed Rmb1tn ($145bn) for the first time this year, according to new figures from the annual budget released by the country’s finance ministry.

中國(guó)財(cái)政部發(fā)布的新的年度預(yù)算數(shù)據(jù)顯示，中國(guó)國(guó)防支出今年將首次超過(guò)1萬(wàn)億元人民幣(合1450億美元)。

The Ministry of Finance on Monday announced that the annual budget for military defence in 2017 would come to Rmb1.044tn, reflecting a 7 per cent rise from the previous year.

財(cái)政部周一宣布，2017年國(guó)防年度預(yù)算將達(dá)到1.044萬(wàn)億元人民幣，同比增長(zhǎng)7%。

That growth rate – announced at the weekend, but without the landmark renminbi figure – nonetheless represents a slowdown from 2015′s rise of 8 per cent.

7%的增速是在上周末宣布的，但當(dāng)時(shí)沒(méi)有透露具有里程碑意義的人民幣數(shù)字。然而，這一增速低于2016年8%的增速。

Both the quickest rise and largest absolute increase in China’s military spending plans came in 2014 when spending grew 12 per cent year on year, a rise of Rmb88bn. China’s defence budget has grown at a double-digit rate for the last 25 years, and the country now ranks second only to the US in terms of global military spending.

中國(guó)軍事支出計(jì)劃中最為快速、同時(shí)也是絕對(duì)數(shù)額最大的增長(zhǎng)出現(xiàn)在2014年，當(dāng)時(shí)中國(guó)國(guó)防支出增長(zhǎng)880億元人民幣，同比增長(zhǎng)12%。中國(guó)國(guó)防預(yù)算在過(guò)去25年里一直以兩位數(shù)的速度增長(zhǎng)，如今在全球排名第二，僅次于美國(guó)。

That remains a distant second, however, US President Donald Trump has asked for a 10 per cent increase in US defence spending this year, potentially adding another $54bn to a military spending budget that exceeded $600bn in 2016.

然而，中國(guó)的軍費(fèi)支出仍遠(yuǎn)遜美國(guó)，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)唐納德•特朗普(Donald Trump)已要求今年美國(guó)國(guó)防支出增長(zhǎng)10%，這意味著美國(guó)的軍事支出可能新增540億美元——美國(guó)2016年的軍事支出就已超過(guò)6000億美元。
