China is the largest military threat to the United States
The report, entitled “Annual Risk Evaluation”, stated that “the pressure” of China on Taiwan, which it considers part of its territory and “large -scale cyber operations on American targets” are indications of the increasing risks that Beijing puts on the security of the United States.
The major American intelligence agencies in the non -secret report make a “comprehensive presentation” of the risks offered by foreign countries and criminal organizations.
A Chinese military challenge against Washington
However, the report pointed out that China is more “cautious” than other countries covered by the report such as Russia, Iran and North Korea, as it is keen not to appear in a “very offensive” position.
Gabbard announced on Tuesday during a Senate hearing that “China is our strongest strategic rival” according to the currently available intelligence information.
Advanced Chinese capabilities
She said, “The Chinese army deployed advanced capabilities, including sound missiles, ghost planes, advanced submarines, satellite and warships, stronger, and more arsenal than nuclear weapons.”
The report warned that “Beijing will continue to develop forced and sabotage activities” to weaken the United States internally and in the world.
He also mentioned that Beijing will continue to confront what it considers “a campaign led by Washington to weaken Beijing international relations and topple” the ruling Communist Party.
