BEIJING: China will keep up a"reasonable and appropriate" increase in defence spending to satisfy its national security and military reforms, a government spokesman said on Monday , ahead of the release of its defence budget.

US President Donald Trump has backed plans to request US$750 billion from Congress for defence spending in 2019. That compares with the 1.11 trillion yuan China set for its military budget in 2018.
