Do yourself a favor: Don\u2019t listen to the rhetoric coming out of the mouth of Chinese President <\/a>\u2014 more like dictator for life \u2014 Xi Jinping these days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sure, he is talking a big game about China someday reunifying with Taiwan \u2014 emphasizing using force if necessary \u2014 and how he wants to build Beijing\u2019s military into a world-class power as fast as possible. In fact, in his address to the Communist Party\u2019s 20th National Congress, Xi seems set to be doubling down on his goal of making China the predominant military power in Asia and eventually a global military power as well. What is different now, however, is that the Chinese leader finally has the economy \u2014 a gross domestic product worth more than $16 trillion \u2014 and foundational military capabilities to back up his bluster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That should terrify anyone who makes their bones in the Biden administration working on national-security issues. Because China\u2019s military rise has been completely unchecked under both the eight years of the Obama presidency and now under President Joe Biden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The results are chilling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n For starters, we should understand that this is not the Chinese military of even just a few years ago. Xi has transformed his armed forces into something that could wage war against America in Asia \u2014 and would have a chance to win, something unthinkable just a decade ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But we should be clear: Xi has been saying the same things over and over for nearly a decade now, and all of that is old news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
