A senior US general says China is developing capabilities at a 'stunning' pace and calls on the US and its allies to partner against threats
In the wake of China's test of a hypersonic missile, the second most senior US general said Thursday that the pace at which China's military is developing capabilities is"stunning" while US development suffers from"brutal" bureaucracy.
The outgoing Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General John Hyten, echoed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's characterization of China as a"pacing threat" while calling Russia the most imminent threat."Calling China a pacing threat is a useful term because the pace at which China is moving is stunning," Hyten told reporters at a Defense Writers Group roundtable Thursday morning.
