Dear RealFactsPLA, thank you for injecting some much needed non-American viewpoints into the debate over the Chinese military. However, one of the cardinal principals of Wikipedia is WP:Reliable Sources. What you did when changing the 140 bn to 70 bn figure is change a figure sourced to an independent Swedish institute, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute - very definitely not American - to something that has no sources. I have changed the data to reflect the footnoted source. Please do not add data without citing reliable sources. Buckshot06 (talk) 05:50, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
