The U.S. Defense Department has released its long-awaited 2022 National Defense Strategy, identifying China as “the overall pacing challenge” while Russia remains an “acute threat” to the United States.
The 80-page document, released two weeks after the White House’s National Security Strategy and the first by President Biden’s defense policy team, aims “to provide a clear picture of the challenges we expect to face,” and “will set the Department’s course for decades to come.”
“The PRC remains our most consequential strategic competitor for the coming decades,” said secretary of defense Lloyd Austin, referring to China by its official name, the People’s Republic of China.
