According to a report on the website of British Defense Weekly on January 27, 2020, the latest research report of SIPRI in Stockholm, Switzerland, shows that China is the world's second largest weapon producer after the United States. Russia is in third place, and China is already ahead of Russia. This study represents the most comprehensive situation of weapon production of Chinese enterprises so far.
China has become the second largest weapon producer in the world
In the past, due to the lack of transparency, the turnover of Chinese military enterprises was either unknown or difficult to estimate reliably. Therefore, SIPRI has not listed China in the annual ranking of top 100 military enterprises in the world before. However, SIPRI has obtained reliable military sales information from four major Chinese military enterprises in 2015-2017. SIPRI has studied the four Chinese head enterprises with open and transparent financial information, involving three major conventional weapons production departments: aerospace, electronics and army equipment systems. With the increasing public information of these enterprises, it is now possible to make a reasonable and accurate estimate of the scale of China's weapons industry.
