In recent times, she said Beijing has demonstrated increased military confidence and a prominent willingness to take risks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeijing is the only competitor potentially capable of combining its economic, diplomatic, military and technological power to mount a sustained challenge to a stable and open international system,\u201d Hicks said.<\/p>\n<p>She added, the country adopted a more forceful and aggressive approach. Additionally, in 2020 alone, Beijing escalated tensions between its neighboring countries, including Australia, Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines. The Pentagon\u2019s No. 2 official urged that the U.S. must invest financially in military capabilities, technologies and operational concepts upheld by the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PRC\u2019s actions constitute the threat to regional peace and stability,\u201d Hicks noted. \u201cAnd to the rules-based international order on which our security and those of our allies depend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This came after Washington\u2019s diplomatic talks with Beijing in Anchorage, Alaska ended Friday. The meeting showed the U.S.-China relationship is likely to remain challenged under the Biden administration. Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted the U.S.\u2019s concern of China\u2019s actions in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan as well as the cyberattacks on the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The foreign affairs commissioner from the Chinese Communist Party struck back and said \u201cthe U.S. does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think really what you\u2019ve got here is a Chinese elite that believes it can push the United States around,\u201d Gordon Chang, author of The Great U.S.-China Tech War, stated. \u201cWe have heard voices from Beijing, especially in November, [say] that they own the Biden administration because of Wall Street and Hunter Biden. So this is a time where the Chinese attitude can cause great tumult in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fmr-secy-of-state-pompeo-doubtful-of-who-covid-investigation\/\">Fmr Secy.
