Il Pentagono ha diffuso ieri il rapporto annuale sui "Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China". Come previsto la maggiore preoccupazione per il Ministero della Difesa statunitense resta l'espansione navale (e le temute mire) di Pechino.
Il documento è, a mio avviso, molto interessante e merita un'attenta lettura.
"Over the past decade, China’s military has benefitted from robust investment in modern hardware and technology. Many modern systems have reached maturity and others will become operational in the next few years. Following this period of ambitious acquisition, the decade from 2011 through 2020 will prove critical to the PLA as it attempts to integrate many new and complex platforms, and to adopt modern operational concepts, including joint operations and network-centric warfare."
