The US intelligence community has issued a report stating that China aims to lead the world in artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030, posing a significant threat to national security. The report also highlights China’s military modernization efforts, particularly its capabilities for potential conflicts with Taiwan.
China is enhancing its military capabilities, including those related to cyber warfare and surveillance. However, domestic challenges, such as corruption and economic instability, are also affecting the country’s military ambitions.
Furthermore, the CIA Director has stated that China could curb the flow of fentanyl precursors into the US market. The Chinese embassy has responded by accusing the US of not doing enough to address its own fentanyl abuse issues.
The intelligence community’s report provides a comprehensive assessment of China’s military and cyber capabilities, and its implications for global security.
