The USA and its allies can continue to jump up and down about China's spending on its military, but it does not matter. What is important is that China needs to keep up its military upgrading to defend itself.
Forget about their outcry hyping up the number of nuclear missiles that China is now building. Or comparing the advantage of their aircraft carriers with China and downplaying Chinese aircraft carriers as inferior. Or showing purported growing silo sites in the Gobi Desert to support their agenda. It is none of their concern as such weapons and sites are not for offence but mainly for defense, being built on Chinese soil.
While the USA warships are carrying all the weapons of mass destruction on the high seas, threatening everyone, no one raise any eyebrow over such behavior.
When a Russian warship docks in a South American port, there is such a hue and cry, it baffles the mind. In fact, even before a Chinese warship docks at the Chancay Port built by the Chinese, the war mongering cry is already loud and clear.
The same shameless behavior of the USA, the West and India are also heard when China is helping to develop Pakistan's Gwadar Port. Much is being said about Pakistanis protesting against the project, which we know is all instigated by you know who.
Gwadar Port is important for China's access to Middle East oil, with building of other facilities across Pakistan and Afghanistan for the import of oil by China across land. This is to prepare for blockade in times of war of the Straits of Malacca. Afghanistan and China are developing good relations in cross border trade. It is quite a noticeably a less known fact that Afghanistan shares a narrow common border with China, which can be exploited into a win-win situation for both countries.
