China Becomes Third Largest Arms Exporter

China is now the third-largest exporter of arms after Russia and the United States.  In 2014, China passed France and Germany as major exporters.

A fact sheet prepared by Pieter D. Wezeman and Siemon T. Wezeman at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in March 2015 titled "Trends in International Arms Transfers, 2014" summarizes the role of key arms exporters and contains a section on African arms imports.
