There exists such numbers/information circulated mainly inside Chinese (language) media/social media in form of "screenshot" but no links. Screenshot as a way of hiding source is a common format for this type of information because the links will disclose the media that spread the information. Then normal (Chinese) audience will know the credibility of the information. Give you an example, "epoch times" is a common source of such type of information. The nature of the media is well-known to Chinese audience.

The real equivalence to US defense budget in term of size is actually the infrastructure construction budget. While both budgets boost the economy , infrastructure budget improves the life of local people. Now as the most cities in coast areas run out of project to build, the over capacity cultivated in early years is poured to other directions: rural areas, undeveloped provinces, and even overseas especially Africa and Latin America. It's amazing that China changes very fast year by year as I visited some rural areas.

Ionically this behavior of infrastructure building sounds like Chinese MAGA to me: mind our own business, focus on improve ourselves instead of spread values to other countries.
