Then you'd talk about total spending, not % of GDP.
If me and Bill Gates spend 2% of our earnings on something, we're not both spending the same amount of money.
What doesn't make sense about that?

I was just talking about the spending for their corresponding years. Yes, their magnitudes are different but it's a response to each other's spending.

Except even that isn't the same....
Most of China is under 2%, and all of India is over 2%
Some years one goes up and the other goes down.
It just looks the same because the graph is shitty and measuring something that doesn't even matter.

A governmental budget is never going to be equal between two countries with unequal gdps. The point is, when china increases their spending, India does too. And visa versa.
