The actual military budget is hidden all over the place.

Not as much as it is in places like China or North Korea.

With just the VISIBLE part of it we spend as much as the rest of the world combined.

And the invisible part is a bigger factor elsewhere. Ranging from total command and control to grab for the military whatever they want without bothering with taxes and budgets, to businesses owned by the PLA, to drafts that take resources (people) without fully paying for them (so the budgetary cost is much lower than the real cost).
