How should the United States deal with China's rapid military modernization? The CIA and Pentagon refuse to answer.

Anxiety over China's military modernization has almost become a daily routine for Americans, especially after the September 3rd military parade and the commissioning of the Fujian aircraft carrier.

The U.S. "War Zone" website raised this question on the 7th: Are U.S. intelligence agencies keeping up with the wave of China's weapons development? That is, do U.S. intelligence agencies have the capability to assess, analyze, and track in a timely manner China's rapidly advancing military equipment upgrades?

It is interesting that both the CIA and the Pentagon refused to answer this question from the "War Zone" website. Only a few U.S. think tank researchers were interviewed, but their views were still the same old clichés:

"The new military equipment displayed by China may not all be real";

"The PLA has not been in a war for decades and lacks combat experience";

"It is easy for the U.S. intelligence agencies to track the progress of China's military construction, just need to improve efficiency";

"China has a numerical advantage, while the U.S. has a quality advantage"... These statements are neither novel nor worth commenting on.

In short, even if China's military modernization has made significant progress, these former officials and analysts from the U.S. defense and intelligence departments still refuse to acknowledge reality, and can only use some ridiculous excuses to comfort themselves;

As for the CIA and the Pentagon, these two departments actually know very well about China's recent military achievements. However, in order to maintain the face of American hegemony, they cannot admit that the U.S. has fallen behind in certain areas, but instead continue to make tough statements to show off power - this is like the line from the British TV series "Yes Minister": The UK's defense policy is to make the British people believe they are protected.
