This report analyzes the defense spending of the five countries with the largest defense budgets in Asia: China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Unlike trends in many other regions, defense spending in these five countries has been on the rise for over a decade. For each country, the report examines overall defense spending from 2000-2011, as well as spending on procurement, personnel, operations and maintenance and research and development. It also presents several key findings and areas for further research.
