Though we tried to calculate the total defense budgets for the two fiscal years based on the growth rates and the amount of increase in combination with the initial defense budgets of the previous years, we found the numbers we got as a result of the calculation to be inconsistent with the numbers China disclosed the following year. Therefore, this graph uses 168.4 billion yuan and 210 billion yuan for FY2002 and FY2004, respectively. These are calculated on the assumption that the disclosed growth rates and the amount of increase are based on the actual defense expenditures for FY2001 and FY2003.

January 30, 2013: A Jiangwei-II class frigate directed fire-control radar at a JMSDF destroyer (⑬) Okinotori Island May 2012: Five vessels including Luyang-I-class destroyers sailed to the Pacific Ocean (⑨) March 2013: Four vessels including a Luyang-II-class destroyer sailed to the Pacific Ocean From April to June 2012: Standoff between Chinese government ships and Philippine naval and coastguard vessels Tokyo Okinawa South China Sea Taipei East China Sea Sea of Japan April 2012: Three vessels including Jiangkai-II class frigates sailed through the Osumi Strait to the Pacific Ocean (⑧) June 2012: Three vessels including a Luzhou-class destroyer sailed through the Osumi Strait to the Pacific Ocean (⑩) Around the Senkaku Islands Since December 2008: Chinese law enforcement agencies’ ships have intruded into Japan’s territorial waters. Since September 2012: The ships mentioned above have frequently intruded into Japan’s territorial waters. December 2012: A fixed-wing aircraft of the State Oceanic Administration violated Japan’s territorial air space for the first time. Ningbo Qingdao Beijing Zhanjiang May 2011: A vessel of China’s State Oceanic Administration cut an investigation cable towed by a Vietnamese resource exploration vessel October 2012: Four vessels including a Luzhou-class destroyer sailed northward (⑪) December 2012: Four vessels including Sovremennyclass destroyers sailed northeastward May 2013: Two vessels including a Jiangwei-II-class frigate sailed southeastward The United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: ETOPO1 Advancements to the Pacific Ocean by Chinese naval vessels have been confirmed every year since 2008. Their main characterist ics are as follows (the following numbers correspond to those in the figure above): ①A state-of-the-art Luzhou-class destroyer was confirmed for the first time. ②A ship-based helicopter flight was confirmed in waters approximately 260km northeast of Okinotori Island. ③It is reported that, after the naval unit advanced into the Pacific Ocean, it passed through the Bashi Channel into the South China Sea, sailed around the Spratly islands, and conducted a military exercise in waters near the Paracel Islands. ④A part of the naval unit conducted an exercise in waters in the middle of the East China Sea before advancing into the Pacific Ocean. At that time, a ship-based helicopter flew close to Japan’s destroyer Suzunami, which was conducting surveillance activities. At its closest, the helicopter was about 90m away horizontally and about 30m above the ship. Because this was very dangerous from the perspective of the safe navigation of the ship, Japan approached the Chinese Governm ent through a diplomatic channel with a request to ascertain the facts of the matter. Subsequently, a ship-based helicopter approached and flew around Japan’s destroyer Asayuki, which was conducting surveillance with regard to these vessels in the Pacific Ocean. At its closest, the helicopter was about 90m away horizontally and about 50m above the ship. Because this kind of incident occurred again, which was dangerous from the perspective of the safe navigation of the ship, Japan filed a protest against the Chinese Government through a diplomatic channel. ⑤A reconnaissance ship was confirmed to be accompanying a naval unit for the first time. As well as conducting a targeting exerc ise in waters approximately 450km southwest of Okinotori Island, the naval unit conducted drills involving unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and ship-based helicopter flights. Drills involving UAV takeoff from and landing on a frigate, helicopter takeoff from and landing on a vessel, and night training at sea were confirmed for the first time. ⑥Five naval vessels in the naval unit conducted drills involving ship-based helicopter flights and mid-ocean refueling in waters approximately 900km southwest of Okinotori Island. ⑦The naval unit conducted drills involving ship-based helicopter flights and mid-ocean refueling in waters approximately 900km southwest of Okinotori Island. ⑧Chinese naval vessels had been confirmed to have passed through the Osumi Strait for the first time since a Ming-class submarine sailed west through the strait in November 2003. These vessels conducted UAV flight drills in waters approximately 700km east of Okinotori Island. ⑨A Luyang-I-class destroyer and a Yuzhao-class landing ship were confirmed for the first time. The naval unit conducted drills involving ship-based helicopter flights and formation movements in waters southwest of the main island of Okinawa. ⑩The naval unit conducted drills involving ship-based helicopter flights in waters approximately 900km north of Okinotori Island and mid-ocean refueling in waters approximately 600km southwest of Okinotorishima. ⑪A fleet was confirmed navigating northward the sea area between the Yonakuni Island and the Nakanougan Island. The fleet passed the geographic median line at approximately 80km southeast of Uotsuri Island. ⑫The fleet conducted ship-based helicopter flight training and mid-ocean refueling in waters approximately 550km southwest of Okinotori Island. ⑬Japan filed a protest against the Chinese Government through a diplomatic channel, in which Japan stated that directing such a radar is a dangerous act that could create a contingency situation, expressed regret, and pressed Beijing to prevent the recurrence of such an act.
