On percentage India (2.2%) spend more on military than China (1.3%) , China's GDP is 5 times of India, but defense budge is only 3 times of India, US spend 3.3% of its GDP in military, 3.5 times of China's military spending or 11 times of India's military spending, while US GDP is about 8 times of India's
average Indian spend 0.26% of his income to military, average Chinese spend 0.14% of his income on military.
most Indian weapons are imported, with 300-500% profit for the seller, most China's weapons are home made, therefore, for each weapon India has, China can have 3-5 with the same cost. multiply for 20 yrs. now you have an idea. China has 3 12000 ton class destroyer in service (total will be 8) , (India, 0), China has 26 7000 tons destroyers, India, 3, same for the air jets, China has over 1300 4th gen modern jets, India has 275 Su-30 MKI. Feb 27 2019 air battle showed, even JF-17 can first lock on Su-30 MKI and launch PL 12 to it (with over 100 km range), Su-30 MKI could not do anything but run away since R77 it carry cannot reach that far. (do not trust what on wiki, it cannot reach 80 km)
In R&D, India spend 0.6-0.7% of its GDP, China spend 2.1% of its GDP, the money amount China spend on R&D is 2.1/0.65*5=16.15 times of India
