Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China 2024: Annual Report to Congress U.S. Department of Defense Summary: The 2022 National Security and Defense Strategies identify China as the primary challenge to the United States, citing its intent and growing capability to reshape the global order. China, aiming for "national rejuvenation" by 2049, is rapidly modernizing its military, the People's Liberation Army, to aggressively project power and "fight and win wars." Despite resumed military-to-military communication in 2023, China continued its coercive actions in the Indo-Pacific, emphasizing the urgency of addressing its escalating military capabilities. This report illustrates the importance of meeting the pacing challenge presented by the People’s Republic of China’s increasingly capable military. APA citation: U.S. Department of Defense. (2024).
