media - People's Daily reviews Western 'fuss' about military spending
It is always enjoyable when the People's Daily, the official paper of the Communist Party in China, takes on the foreign media. They have done their home work pretty well and counties over 100 news reports within 24 hours by the major Western media on the 11.6 percent increase of the military budget, approved during the recent sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC).
As usual the issue focuses on the 'hidden' expenditures, not revealed by the budget. Not surprising in a country where up to half of the economy is in black or grey areas. I do not worry too much about, but the People's Daily does and tries to convince us there are no hidden budgets.
Is this whole issue worth an entry on my blog? Maybe not and I should just take care of my severe cold, that is really bothering me.
