  1. The US is the one that is saber rattling. China is strengthening its national defense, because they need it to safeguard their sovereignty. China is already ahead of the US in terms of PPP(Purchasing Power Parity). Type 99 mbt costs about 2.5 million USD compare that with a M1A2 costs $10 million. A QBZ-191 rifle costs 450 USD to produce. The XM5 rifle costs 8,000 USD, and a XM7 costs 5,000 USD. Is the XM5 11.11 times better than the QBZ-191. Is the XM5 17.78 times better than the QBZ-191. China just has more industrial capacity, so China can produce more stuff which brings down the cost. It's supply and demand. You have state owned defense firms that don't have a middle man profiting from it. The US has an inflated defense budget. It all boils down to one thing. How many pieces of equipment can you produce to replace losses if something happens?
