I compared US' __police__ spending of $100 billion, to the __military__ spending of other countries.

I assume you missed that. The comparison is not between militaries, but US' police vs the military.

Ay, I did miss that, didn't go up enough to see the parent :facepalm: China do spend more on defense than policing, at lease nominally, per page 5 of the 2021 budget proposal hosted on Xinhua:

"National defense spending was 1.267992 trillion yuan, 100% of the budgeted figure. Public security expenses totaled 183.59 billion yuan, 100.2% of the budgeted figure. "
