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. "

"the only country that spends more on military is China"
1 1 United States 778 4.4 -10 3.7 4.8 39
2 2 China [252] 1.9 76 [1.7] [1.7] [13]
3 3 India 72.9 2.1 34 2.9 2.7 3.7
