China‘s military is currently undergoing clandestine “progress in modernization” under the leadership of Xi Jinping who wants to thrust his troops into 21st century warfare.
Xi previously announced that he would see to a significant overhaul of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to ensure they are prepared for modern combat, including in areas of space, cyber, intelligence, and electronic warfare.
Experts have begun warning of the secrecy with which this is being conducted and how it could become a “problem” for the US, which is unaware of its adversary’s “deficiencies.”
Alessio Patalano, an expert in East Asian warfare and author of Postwar Japan as a Seapower, said the PLA has a “transparency problem” as it conducts its “investment and modernization” in secret.
He told Daily Express US: “There is a transparency problem. There is far less transparency in China about its investment and progress in modernization than there is in the US, making it harder to place our deficiencies against theirs.”
