China’s military is expanding its forces with new submarines and drone weapons that threaten America’s undersea advantage, senior Navy officers disclosed this week.
Rear Adm. Mike Brookes, intelligence director at the Navy’s National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office, said during a congressional hearing that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army is seeking to dominate the undersea warfare domain and in the coming years could pose a credible threat to America’s submarine advantage.
“PLA navy submarine modernization, rising threats to undersea infrastructure, and the push for deep-sea resources are part of a broader effort to expand China’s power and influence,” Adm. Brookes testified to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.
