US general says China’s military modernization ‘threatening’

The head of the US Northern Command, General Glen Vanherke, said China was modernizing its military “at an alarming rate” and developing new weapons. The weapon will be capable of hitting long-range targets, the general said during a speech before the US Senate Armed Services Committee.

said Vanherk.

The general added that China continues to develop “the strategic weapons and infrastructure needed to project military might over ever greater distances.”
