Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. In recent years, and this is the way this has been reported, the government seems to have gone from a budget emergency to a South China Sea emergency. Isn't the massive increase in expenditure announced today simply contributing to a regional arms race that is likely to make us less safe in the future?
