Pentagon Report Highlights China's Military Modernization and Expansion

The Pentagon has released a new report highlighting China’s military modernization and expansion, including its growing space-based ISR capabilities, nuclear stockpile, and cyberespionage efforts. The report notes that China’s military expansion poses a threat to American homeland security, with the People’s Liberation Army aiming to achieve a ‘strategic decisive victory’ over Taiwan by 2027. The report was mandated by Congress and published Tuesday, amid a backdrop of US-China relations that have seen a mix of diplomacy and tension.
