Last week, the Pentagon released its annual China Military Power Report, which detailed the ongoing transformation of China's military, officially known as the People's Liberation Army (PLA), into a modern force.
The report contains facts that will unnerve U.S. policymakers and defense officials: China now has the world's largest navy, is expanding its already massive and advanced missile arsenal, and has the capability to seize Taiwan's outlying islands.
China has "marshaled the resources, technology, and political will over the past two decades to strengthen and modernize the PLA in nearly every respect," the report states, adding that "China is already ahead of the United States in certain areas."
