Fox News
Admiral John Aquilino, Commander of the United States Indo-Pacific Command, said that China is making a conscious effort to fund its military despite a failing economy.
He also said China was spending "drastically more" on its military than the 7.2% increase it declared last month.
"Despite a failing economy, there's a conscious decision to fund military capability. That's concerning to me," said Aquilino, who is due to leave his post next month.
