According to the budget plan, China will spend 1.0443 trillion yuan in defense spending in 2017, a 7% increase from the actual spending of last year, said an unnamed official from the Ministry of Finance.

一名未透露姓名的財政部官員日前聲稱，根據預算安排，2017年我國擬安排國防支出10443億元，比上年執行數增長7%。

Fu Ying, spokeswoman for the Fifth Session of the 12th National People's Congress, said that China will raise its defense budget by around 7% this year. Fu said the increase is in line with China's economic development and defense needs.

十二屆全國人大五次會議發言人傅瑩表示，2017年我國國防預算增幅在7%左右，與我國經濟發展水平和國防建設需求相符。

The increased spending will be mainly used to deepen military overhauls and improve soldiers' living conditions.

增加的這部分支出將主要用於深化軍事改革和改善士兵的生活條件。

The fresh raise could be the country's lowest defense budget hike in more than a decade.

今年的國防預算增幅可能是十餘年來最低的。

Last year, the country's defense budget rose by 7.6% to 954 billion yuan, breaking a multi-year run of double-digit increases.

去年，我國國防預算爲9540億元，增幅爲7.6%，告別了連續多年的兩位數增長。

Fu noted that China's defense spending accounts for about only 1.3 percent of the country's gross domestic product, as compared with NATO members' pledge to dedicate at least 2 percent of GDP to defense.

傅瑩指出，我國的國防開支只佔國內生產總值(GDP)的1.3%，而北約成員國則承諾至少將這一開支提升至GDP的2%。

"You should ask them what their intentions are," Fu told reporters.

傅瑩告知記者：“你應該去問問這些國家，他們的意圖是什麼。”
