Russia has lost its status as the main military threat in the eyes of the United States
Perhaps the most worrying thing for Donald Trump's team is the fact that by 2030, the PRC will actively try to displace the United States from the position of the leading power.
In addition, it is emphasized that the Russian Federation, together with Iran, North Korea, and China, want to challenge the United States through deliberate campaigns to gain an advantage.
It is also stated that Russia's war against Ukraine provides "a wealth of lessons on how to combat Western weapons and intelligence in a large-scale war."
According to American intelligence, the Chinese army most likely intended to use large language models to create fake news, impersonate people, and conduct cyberattacks.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made a statement on this matter.
China's military is deploying advanced capabilities, including hypersonic weapons, stealth aircraft, submarines, more powerful space and cyber warfare capabilities, and a larger arsenal of nuclear weapons, she stressed.
