People freak out that China spends a lot on the military even though it’s still a lot less than the US spends

Western political scientists explain this one as the idea that the ideal miilitary power to have is more than everyone else. By this logic, there is no amount that is ever "enough" military spending, and any gain in military power by any other country is a threat to yours.
