China’s ongoing military modernization program—and particularly efforts to develop coercive and deterrent capabilities across multiple domains, such as in advanced aerospace (missilery), cyberspace, outer space, autonomous systems, and weapons of mass destruction—clearly presents a formidable challenge to the United States and its armed forces, especially in the Indo-Pacific. In addition, regional countries, including key U.S. allies and security partners, face similar, often more intense, concerns about China’s military capabilities. China poses an increasing threat to the sovereign, territorial, and security interests of many U.S. allies and security partners in the Indo- Pacific, including Australia, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, the Republic of China (Taiwan), and Vietnam.
