At next months meeting of parliament, the government is likely to announce yet another double-digit increase in military spending as Beijing tries to transform its armed forces. China last year set its 2005 military budget at 247.7 billion yuan ($30.79 billion), up 12.6 percent from 2004, though analysts say the actual number is far higher because it does not reflect research and development and arms purchases.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jason Lee for Reuters Images, we witness a Chinese paramilitary policeman diligently cleaning a wall in Beijing on February 24,2006. The image serves as a poignant representation of China's commitment to transforming its armed forces. As the nation prepares for the upcoming parliamentary meeting, speculations arise regarding another double-digit increase in military spending. This photograph encapsulates the dedication and meticulousness with which China approaches its defense strategies. China had already set its military budget at an impressive 247.7 billion yuan ($30.79 billion) in 2005, marking a substantial 12.6 percent surge from the previous year. However, analysts argue that this figure fails to account for research and development expenses or arms purchases, suggesting that the actual amount invested is significantly higher. The symbolism behind this image extends beyond mere cleanliness; it represents China's determination to enhance its military capabilities while simultaneously modernizing its armed forces. As Beijing continues to assert itself on the global stage, this photograph captures a crucial moment in history when China was actively working towards strengthening its national security apparatus. Jason Lee's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the physical act of cleaning and the metaphorical implications it holds for China's ambitious transformation efforts. Through his lens, we glimpse into an era where every detail mattered as Beijing strived to build a formidable force capable of safeguarding their interests at home and abroad.
