A senior US general says China is developing capabilities at a 'stunning' pace and calls on the US and its allies to partner against threats

In the wake of China's test of a hypersonic missile, the second most senior US general said Thursday that the pace at which China's military is developing capabilities is"stunning" while US development suffers from"brutal" bureaucracy.

The outgoing Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General John Hyten, echoed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's characterization of China as a"pacing threat" while calling Russia the most imminent threat."Calling China a pacing threat is a useful term because the pace at which China is moving is stunning," Hyten told reporters at a Defense Writers Group roundtable Thursday morning.

BLAME THE GOP AND DO NOT BITCH AT THE COUNTRY. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHOS DEGRADING OUR COUNTRY. MAYBE START THERE. IF NOT YOU, THAN GO TO THOSE WHO CAN STOP IT. INVESTIGATE THE GOP FOR GODS SAKE.

American they're too busy with their own domestic problems. So divisive that no one is united under the same umbrella. Yet still want to rule the world. 😌 less ppl now talking about american dream and visiting merica because ppl got scared with todays america.

Yeee between Russia and China we can quadruple our military budget....infrastructure can wait. Plus bad roads and no internet will slow enemy advance

Well

The problem with the US is that she loves distributing her kisses to dragons. Now she is bitten;she is painfully crying.

Make sure General Milley is not told the plan or China will know all about it.

Surely the US isn’t doing anything like this…

One thing that is baffling to me is all the products we import from China! Why, because the threat of contaminated dog food/treats, sprays, plastics, medication, clothing and many more are invisible until someone or someone's pet dies! Why not think that is your biggest threat?

How dare they develop such capabilities while we’re spending so much more on defence! Perhaps we should order some products from china 🙄

Going to report on Cuomo?

The time is now they know it. If I was China I would create a virus then sell the world all it needs to fight this virus... Watch America crumble Brick by Brick with racism taking themselves apart. then launch an attack conventional on their interest

No way! We are to busy arguing about the use of masks and if COVID is a hoax or not. Please ask China to stop it's economy and armament growth until we finish those real important arguments. We americans are proving to be really intelligent people.

Ah shit here we again
