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.

一名未透露姓名的财政部官员日前声称，根据预算安排，2017年我国拟安排国防支出10443亿元，比上年执行数增长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.

十二届全国人大五次会议发言人傅莹表示，2017年我国国防预算增幅在7%左右，与我国经济发展水平和国防建设需求相符。

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

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

今年的国防预算增幅可能是十余年来最低的。

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，我国国防预算为9540亿元，增幅为7.6%，告别了连续多年的两位数增长。

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.

傅莹指出，我国的国防开支只占国内生产总值(GDP)的1.3%，而北约成员国则承诺至少将这一开支提升至GDP的2%。

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

傅莹告知记者：“你应该去问问这些国家，他们的意图是什么。”
