File talk:PLA military budget 1999-2008.GIF

Where did the data for this graph originate? Although the link leads to a report on China's expected military expenditures for 2009, there doesn't seem to be any justification for the historical data.

What do these figures represent?
Are these 2008 dollars? Or are they the yearly declared totals without adjusting for inflation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.252.188 (talk) 13:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
