共和党参议员警告：中国在“新型战争”上的支出已接近美国
China close to matching US spending on ‘new way of war’, Republican senator warns
共和党参议员戴夫·麦考密克警告，美国在与中国的军事竞争中陷入“虚假的安全感”，中国在“新型战争”上的支出已更接近美国。麦考密克称，美国高达 90% 的国防支出用于数十年前的装备和技术，并呼吁增加现代战争系统投入、加强与盟友合作。
The United States is lulling itself into a “sense of false security” over its military rivalry with China, according to a Republican senator who called for more spending on modern warfare systems and closer cooperation with allies.
Speaking at the Hudson Institute after a recent trip to Japan and South Korea, Dave McCormick, a Pennsylvania senator and West Point graduate, claimed up to 90 per cent of US defence spending funded decades-old equipment and technologies.
“We convince ourselves; we lull ourselves into a sense of false security,” he said.
Although China’s total defence budget was significantly lower than the US one, McCormick said China’s spending “on the new way of war … is much more comparable”.
