Latest Report Re hype: "China is the Only Capable Competitor" US | Strategy | Competitor
According to the website of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, on August 10th local time, Director of National Intelligence Haynes released the 2023 National Intelligence Strategy report.
In a 20 page report, the US side listed six goals, including strengthening the positioning of the intelligence community to address severe strategic challenges, expanding and strengthening partnerships, and so on.
When mentioning China, the report positions it as "the only competitor of the United States that has both the intention to reshape the international order and the increasing ability to do so in terms of economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power.".
For Russia, the report believes that after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Moscow has posed "the most direct and continuous threat" to the security order in Europe and Eurasia, and is "the source of global destruction and instability".
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence in the United States stated that the above objectives reflect key elements in the current strategic environment of the United States, namely the central position of strategic competition between the United States and China and Russia; The importance of emerging technologies, supply chains, and economic governance tools for national security, as well as the challenges posed by climate change and health security.
"The National Intelligence Strategy outlines how we must respond to a constantly changing world in order to address issues such as competition with China, climate change, and global food security through partnerships, technological innovation, diverse talent, and expertise." CIA Director Bill Burns said that the intelligence community must remain sensitive, and the report provides strategic direction for the American intelligence newspaper for the next four years.
According to American media interpretation, this report once again strengthens attention to China and Russia in response to their "growing threats".
The Governor of Chang'an Street noticed that in recent years, the US has openly claimed to respond to the "China threat" on many occasions, while repeatedly spreading false information about so-called "Chinese spies" to provide legitimacy for its intelligence infiltration activities into China.
The Washington Post released an exclusive report on the 7th stating that Chinese military hackers had invaded the computer system used by the Japanese Ministry of Defense to process the most sensitive intelligence, which was subsequently refuted by the Japanese side. The Japanese Defense Minister and Chief Cabinet Secretary responded to this on the 8th, stating that "no confidential information leakage caused by cyber attacks has been found.".
In March of this year, the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the United States also released a report titled "Investigation of China's Spy Activities in the United States Since 2000", which sorted out over 200 so-called "Chinese spy cases" prosecuted by the Ministry of Justice.
As the only superpower armed to the teeth, the United States should reflect on what it has done and what it should do before criticizing and accusing other countries. In response to the report on China released by the US intelligence community in March, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning responded by stating that the US has released various versions of reports, repeatedly hyping up the "China threat", slandering, smearing, and attacking China, but is just making excuses for expanding its military and maintaining hegemony.
