Recently on TV I heard US President 'Dubba' Bush say that China is currently building up its military force. This surprised me as I was working in a university with a miltary connection and I had been told China was decreasing the size of its military.

Maybe it is a question of quality over quantity, less troops but better trained and equipped (just as most other nations have done).

I am not looking for state secrets! What does the press and TV say about this?

It is sure that China is going to strengthen national Navy force.
In fact, Chinese Navy is very fragile for a long time, now it's time to change this situation.

I'm no expert, but from everything I've been reading, China definitely is going for quality over quantity and that 'modernisation' is a better word for this process than 'build up'.
