Senior officials of the Pentagon predicted that when the US's latest assessment report on China's military strength was announced, the Speaker of the House of Representatives Perosi visited the mainland of the mainland for local high -voltage trends in the mainland of the mainland.
Bloomberg quoted the unnamed official saying that the sea and air military operations that were implemented around Taiwan in mainland China were obviously intended to intimidate and defeat Taiwan's leaders.The PLA's operations include crossing the midline of the Taiwan Strait.
The United States believes that there is no sign of showing that the mainland's attack is about to be, but they believe that China hopes that at least 2027 will have the ability to launch offensive.According to officials of the Pentagon, this is also part of China as the grand goal of the world's strongest military forces by 2049.
The official said that since the August trip to Pelosi, China's sea and air operations have not returned to a lower level, indicating that radical and unsafe behaviors have become a new normal.
Officials also warned that the high -pressure situation could lead to the repeat of the US -China collision incident in April 2001.This incident that was forgotten by many people was the first major foreign policy crisis faced by then U.S. President Bush.
The report said that in addition to the continuous risks mentioned above, mainland China "may have many options for military operations in Taiwan, accompanied by varying degrees of feasibility and related risks", including air and sea blockade, sea blockade, sea blockade, and sea blockade, sea blockade, sea blockade, sea blockade, and sea blockade, and sea blockade, sea blockade, sea blockade, and sea blockade, sea blockade, and sea blockade, and sea blockade, and maritime blockade, and sea blockade,Initiating a comprehensive amphibious offense, seizing the islands or the entire Taiwan.
The Pentagon Building on Tuesday (November 29), the annual report submitted to Congress, is still highlighted. The United States has continued to expand the nuclear strike force of China's continuous expansion of land, empty, and sea bases.At the same time, China's regular Air Force "is quickly chasing the Western Air Force". The conventional Rocket Army troops have tested the missiles this year more than any other country.
Pentagon also said that China "may accelerate the expansion of nuclear arsenal" and is expected to have about 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035, far higher than the current estimated 400 and 1,000 in 2030.
At the same time, China is still developing new combat power, including ground laser and space robots, as well as enhanced monitoring functions against other rail objects.
The report said that China continued to build three single -well launch areas for solid fuel -containment missiles in 2021, and plans to add at least 300 launch wells.
Although China is continuing to expand the nuclear arsenal, the number of nuclear warheads is still far lower than the current 3750 in the United States.
