I would think that weapons projects tend to be funded by the government? Or at least as well. Whether or not military spending on research & development is included I don't know. Quite possible that it is. This can't account for the difference with Japan, though.

Re: Happy Birthday EU (none / 0)

I'd imagine - without evidence - that R&D directly funded as such is counted. If Boeing carry out R&D for a new fighter plane project would it be counted as governement or private spending?

I have no idea what would be behind the Japanese figure, but I'd be interested in the structure of it.
