The U.S. military has a lot of work to do to catch up to China, according to a new government report.
The Government Accountability Office released a National Security Snapshot of the pacing challenge with China earlier this week that found “China’s growing economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power … pose a significant long-term challenge to the United States.”
Areas of concern highlighted in the report include space and undersea operations, cyber, artificial intelligence, and "area-denial," which is described as China’s expansion of its capabilities to “counter third party intervention during a large-scale, theater campaign such as a Taiwan contingency.”
The Chinese military has upped incursions into Taiwan's air defense identification zone in recent months, demonstrating an increased level of aggression. The Chinese government maintains that Taiwan is a part of the mainland, while the Taiwanese believe they are a self-ruled island. The United States has not recognized Taiwan’s independence, though it has provided support to prevent a Chinese attack.
“Successful preparation for strategic competition with China will depend on continuing efforts to increase U.S. combat credibility and enhance conventional deterrence that can help prevent conflict, protect U.S. interests, and assure allies,” the report read. “Going forward, key policy considerations include ensuring that DOD is prepared to maintain supply chains, gather intelligence, and responsibly leverage emerging space, cyber, and AI technologies in response to potential threats.”
China's military is ahead of the U.S. specifically as it relates to the development of hypersonic technology.
The Chinese military has accelerated the pace of its nuclear expansion program to the point where it could “have up to 700 deliverable nuclear warheads” within roughly five years, according to the Defense Department’s Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China report, released at the beginning of November.

The US Military has been PURGED of nearly all Patriots and Warriors. Those undesirables have been replaced with PC anti-Americans. Homo’s, Lesbo’s, Trannies, Commies, etc...meanwhile the pathetic excuses for “opposition” aka Republicans are nowhere to be found. They can most often be discovered cowering under a desk wallowing in their own urine after having pissed on themselves in fear. Or, in many cases, stealth democrats spouting pablum to fool the naive “conservative” voter.
The one man who threw his hat into the ring, Donald Trump was attacked unmercifully by the Deep State and the RINO’s participated in those attacks. And, too few, an insignificant few came to the man’s defense.
Remarkably, that man appears ready and willing to take on The Swamp once again. God Bless him.
They are woke, so that makes up for it.
The USMC has no tanks...I mean none. No self propelled Arty either. The Tracks are forbidden from going into the water except for war emergency. The Army has NO ballistic missiles except for MLRS stuff... and NO tactical nukes.
We are set up to chase goat humpers with AKs, and are utterly unprepared for fighting an actual enemy military.
Our military has chosen not to be serious.
Our military exists to spend as much money as they possibly can. And we hope we never have to really fight, because we know we’re just wasting the money.
I thought they recommended we go socialist to combat China.

But they’re fabulously ahead in meeting gender confusion requirements.
Yup, and pig face bidet sent em over to the border of the Ukraine.
Would you care to go eye to eye with them over there knowing that your pig face of a POTUS doesnt give a rats ass what happens to you?
8,000 troops in eastern Europe is a joke. Want to send a signal to Putin? Match their deployment with a combined NATO deployment (159,000) with at least 50,000 US forces with heavy armor and tactical nukes.
Milley called his Chinese counterpart and told him HE'D WARN HIM AHEAD OF A U.S. ATTACK.
BIG. CLUE. AMERICA.
What the hell difference does it make?
We got our own politburo in Washington, D. C.
States like California have their own in-house tyrants.
Wait until the Union members find out what’s in their future.
I don’t think the US Military is doing much these days other than lining up for sex change operations.
.
“tactical nukes.”
Just remember. Russia has tactical nukes and has hypersonic missile capabilities.
You chest thumpers amaze me. Your all for sending boys and girls to war to get annihilated in some foreign country in a dust up we have no business being in.
Must have been born stupid and are still working on it.
Of course thats fine, as long as it isnt YOUR kids getting sent over there.
I am not a fan of Communism. Putin is a Communist. So is Xi. Facing them is important. Now, we still need to deal with our internal problems, but eventually we will have to confront Putin and Xi.
We have NO tactical reason to become involved in the Ukraine.
WE have vast reasons to become involved in the South China sea region.
Aside from all that, this countries government is fast becoming the enemy we expected-those the founders warned us about. So, we best clean out our own nest before we stick our noses into foreign involvements between Russia and the Ukraine.
