Strategic Military Developments in Asia-Pacific Region: A Matter of Global Security Concern?

China Directs Largest Military Build-Up Since 1930s Nazi Germany, Expert Warns, Citing Pentagon Report

The US Department of Defense (DoD) has issued a warning about China’s rapidly growing military capabilities, which are set to surpass those of the United States by 2030. According to a recent report, China is undertaking its largest military build-up since the 1930s Nazi Germany.

The DoD’s annual report on the People’s Republic of China (PRC) highlights the country’s aggressive expansion of its naval and missile capabilities. The report emphasizes that China already has the world’s leading arsenal of hypersonic missiles, capable of evading US defenses and targeting sensitive areas such as Guam, Hawaii, and Alaska.

Furthermore, the report reveals that China is expanding its navy from 370 ships and submarines to an estimated 435 by 2030, making it the largest naval force globally. This significant increase underscores Beijing’s strategic intent to challenge Washington’s dominance in Asia-Pacific waters.

Moreover, the DoD assesses that China seeks to disrupt global supply chains, exert influence over critical infrastructure, and undermine US alliances and partnerships. These actions demonstrate a clear desire by China to become a dominant world power.

The Pentagon report also highlights China’s efforts to enhance its psychological warfare capabilities through cognitive domain operations (CDO). This strategy aims to alter the perception of adversaries, create divisions within friendly forces, and shape public opinion in favor of Beijing’s interests.

Dr. [insert expert name], a leading defense analyst, has warned that China’s military build-up poses significant risks for global stability. “China’s aggressive expansion is a direct challenge to US security guarantees and threatens to undermine our allies’ trust in our ability to protect them,” Dr. [insert expert name] emphasized.
