The latest United States threat assessment labels China as "the most comprehensive and robust military threat to national security," underscoring Beijing’s sweeping efforts to expand its global influence, as revealed on Tuesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The report highlights China’s growing dominance in the mining and processing of critical materials as a particular threat to Washington, alongside its aggressive artificial intelligence ambitions. US intelligence also warns that Beijing is likely to apply stronger coercive measures against Taiwan in 2025, especially if it perceives moves toward formal independence. Finally, US intelligence chiefs cited China as the most active and persistent cyber threat to the States, threatening their AI dominance by 2030.
