GAO-22-105448 1 (2022-02-15)

handle is hein.gao/gaomto0001 and id is 1 raw text is: According to the 2021 Interim National Security Strategic Guidance, China is increasingly assertive and the only competitor potentially capable of combining its economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to mount a sustained challenge to a stable and open international system. From a defense perspective, China is a significant and long-term security threat and the pacing threat in most areas, according to the Secretary of Defense. However, the Department of Defense (DOD) has also highlighted weaknesses and challenges facing China. For example, the Defense Intelligence Agency reported that China, as a large developing country, still faces multiple complex security challenges including several regional territorial disputes. China has greatly strengthened its military capabilities over the last 20 years and its stated goal is to have a world-class military by the end of 2049, according to DOD. Today, China has transformed what was an obsolete military into one that can challenge the U.S. military across the spectrum of conventional and unconventional capabilities. Below are examples of concerns highlighted by DOD and GAO. Figure 1: Selected Chinese Military Capabilities Source: GAO analysis of Department of Defense information; Map Resources (map).
