China's weapons sales to other countries are soaring

Its exports of major arms soared 88% between the 2006-2010 period and 2011-2015, according to a report published Monday by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

The country has been securing a bigger slice of an expanding pie.

Other nations -- including the U.S., Russia and Britain -- also saw their arms exports increase over the same period, SIPRI said, although nowhere near as rapidly as China's. The biggest declines were suffered by Germany, the Netherlands and France.

China's largest customers for its weapons are in the Asia-Pacific region: Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar.
"All three states are neighbors of India, the leading importer of arms in the region," the report noted.

The only weapons I've heard of that come from Scandinavia are the Bofors AA guns from your sauna-loving neighbours.
