Don’t underestimate the threat posed by China
The world is facing significant challenges such as inflation, the migrant crisis, and conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. However, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has rightly pointed out that the greatest strategic challenge to world peace is China.
FBI Director Christopher Wray also emphasized that Beijing poses a major threat, calling it “the defining threat of our generation.” He highlighted China’s extensive hacking program as particularly concerning.
The Chinese Communist Party is actively working to undermine the security and economy of the rule-of-law world through various means, including hacking, espionage, election interference, and foreign influence operations.
China’s actions extend to supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine, bullying neighboring countries, and engaging in military build-up, especially in the South China Sea region.
President Biden’s recent interactions with Chinese leader Xi Jinping have been met with threats and dismissals of concerns raised by American officials, indicating a lack of progress in diplomatic relations.
China’s aggressive behavior and growing military capabilities pose a threat not only to neighboring countries but also to global peace and stability.
It is crucial for the United States and its allies to address China’s actions effectively to prevent a potential catastrophe in the future.
