Military vehicles carrying HHQ-9 ship-to-air missiles march past the Tiananmen Rostrum during the military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Beijing, China, 3 September 2015. Chinese President Xi Jinping announced on Thursday (3 September 2015) he would cut troop levels by 300,000 as China held its biggest display of military might in a parade to commemorate victory over Japan in World War Two. Xi, speaking on the rostrum overlooking Beijing's Tiananmen Square before the parade began, said China would cut by 13 percent one of the world's biggest militaries, currently 2.3-million strong. The Defence Ministry said the cuts would be mostly complete by the end of 2017. The move is likely part of long-mooted military rationalization plans, which have included spending more money on high-tech weapons for the navy and air force. Troop numbers have been cut three times already since the 1980s.

L’Istituto Internazionale di Ricerca per la Pace di Stoccolma, Sipri, ha reso pubblici i dati aggiornati sulle spese militari riferiti al 2019 registrando un aumento del 3,6% rispetto al 2018 con una cifra record di 1.917 miliardi di dollari (259 dollari per ogni abitante della terra)
I dati del Sipri assumono un particolare significato mentre infuria la pandemia da Covid-19 che rischia di travolgere i sistemi sanitari di tutto il mondo sottolinea la Global Campaign on Military Spending (GCOMS).

Una Campagna promossa dall’International Peace Bureau (IPB) e rilanciata nel nostro Paese da Rete italiana per il disarmo con Rete della Pace e Sbilanciamoci per ribadire quanto sia urgente spostare i fondi dai bilanci militari verso altri obiettivi, quali il servizio sanitario nazionale e le urgenze in campo i sociale e ambientale.
Come evidenzia Giulio Marcon, portavoce di Sbilanciamoci, l’aumento delle spese militari si sta consumando «mentre l’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità, con tutti i suoi limiti l’unico tentativo globale e concertato di rispondere alle crisi di natura medico-sanitaria, ha un bilancio biennale di circa 4,5 miliardi di dollari, per la maggior parte contributi volontari di Stati e privati. Una cifra che annualmente è solo lo 0,11% di quanto i Governi spendono globalmente per il settore militare».
