Amid rising tensions in relations between the US and China, a senior American intelligence official has claimed that China’s Communist Party (CCP) is posing a “significant threat” to US national security and its leadership on the global stage. He has warned that under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, China may try to take such steps, which may affect American objectives and interests.
On the other hand, White House National Security Spokesman John Kirby has said that there has been ‘no change’ in America’s stand regarding China. His reaction came after the claim of the Chinese Foreign Minister that the risk of conflict is arising due to the policies of America.
On the other hand, in this week, Chinese President Xi Jinping, who accused America of ‘suppressing’ China, has insisted on upgrading the army. Xi Jinping said that the Chinese military should focus on achieving the ‘world class’ level while improving its strategic ability to win the war.
Xi Jinping is the President of China and the leader of the ruling Communist Party, as well as the head of the military.
China and America are counted as the two major superpowers of the world. There are differences between the two countries on many issues. Taiwan, business and Ukraine war are important in these. Recently, the tensions between the two countries increased when the US shot down an unmanned Chinese balloon.
The US called it an ‘espionage device’, while China said that the balloon reaching American skies was an ‘accident’ to which the US overreacted.
After the presentation of ‘Office of the Director of National Intelligence’, the assessment related to the threats present in front of America in front of the ‘Select Committee on Intelligence’ of the US Senate, American lawmakers emphasized on taking steps to counter the ‘rising challenge of China’ and increasing investment in important sectors.
